Welcome to EGS! I am excited to start a new year, my 20th year in education! Here are a few overarching ideas we will live by in P.E. this year.
1) We focus on being active and giving great effort. I want you to leave sweaty and slimy, sorry classroom teachers!
2) We acknowledge the connection between our mind and body. When we are active daily, our minds clarify and our mood improves.
3) "We do hard things!" If you aren't challenged, you aren't growing. It is healthy for us to try things that are difficult, intimidating, and even beyond what we think we can do. Ask me about the Maah Daay Hey; it was very intimidating! It was hard, and I'm grateful for it.
I am looking forward to a great year in P.E., get after it!!!
