Elementary PE Teacher and Track Coach
About Me

I am a "Senior Plus" as I am sometimes called. Although I already have a degree in Sports Mangagement and Leisure Recreation, I am back in school to get my PE Teaching Certificate. I would liek to finish getting my certificate within another year and half, and become an Elementary PE Teacher.

I want to become a PE Teacher to young children, because I love playing with children, watching them grow, helping them learn about sports and the sports they like to play. I also like to be outdoors and feel children should spend more time outdoors playing and getting exercise.

My Teaching Philosophy

My Teaching Philosophy:

I feel that children need to spend more time outdoors exercising and playing than indoors. I feel it PE gives students a chance to play outside, exercise, make friends, and improve their fine/gross motor skills. PE also teaches children how to have sportsman like attitudes toward winning and loosing. As a PE Teacher, I will teach my students the benefits of staying healthy, using the talents to play sports God gave them, how to work as team, and what competition is truly about. I will do this while also teaching children to give glory to God for the athletic abilities they have.

Games I found for students k5-3rd grade

Some games I found for grade levels k5-3rd are Time Keeper, Super Hero Tag, and Crab Soccer.Rules are:

Time Keeper
1)One person stands at one end of the gym(time keeper), while others stand at the opposite end of the gym
2)The Time Keeper has his/her back to the students with their eyes closed and yells out times (1 oclock)
3)The other students take that many steps forward to the Time Keeper( 1 step for 1oclock)
4)Students continue walking forward to the Time Keeper until he/she yells 12 oclock midnight
5)The time keeper will then turn around and try to tag as many students as he/she can before they get back to the wall they started from.

Super Hero Tag:
1)The class lines up on one end of the gym
2)2 students are chosen to be super heros who tag the students coming toward them
3) One person picks a category( favorite food) and yells out things under that category(ice cream, pizza, cake, etc)
4) When a students favorite under that category is called, the student tries to run to the other side of the gym with out being tagged by the super heros.

Crab Soccer:
1)Students divide up into 2 teams.
2)Students sit around the square of the basketballfor the free-throw line.
3)Students can only crawl like a crab to kick the ball when the ball comes to them.
4)They must stay sitting indian style until ball comes to them, then kick the ball from crab position
5)The object is to keep the ball in the square, if someone kicks the ball out of the square, and the other team does not block it, it is a point.
