Welcome to Mr. Shaw’s Physical Education classroom. Alternative, non-competitive, fun and challenging activities are presented each class, beginning with a warm up activity. An instructional period will follow the warm up introducing a new skill that will be practiced and then reinforced during a game at the end of the period. All classes will end with a three to five minute cool down where students will be given the opportunity to ask questions or make comments about the class. It is my goal to develop and improve student’s movement and sport patterns so that they can apply them in specialized sports and activities. By participating in drills and games, students will foster these skills and begin to increase and maintain physical fitness. Fitness that begins in childhood is a lifelong
investment. Studies have shown that children who participate in fitness activities continue to stay active throughout their lives. As a parent, you need to encourage healthy habits - including exercise - in your child. Physical activity should become as routine a part of their lives as eating and sleeping. Participation in physical activity during the childhood years will promote overall health and well being. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time.
