Physical Education
Coach's Corner
As the Physical Education teacher at Osteen Elementary I strive to encourage students to learn new skills, try new activities, increase their physical skills and abilities, and attempt to always reach their highest potential. Students enter P.E. with a wide variety of experiences, skill levels, and abilities. I strive to teach students to understand that we all are starting the school year at these various levels and that their personal goals should be to move from their current ability level toward an increased level of ability.
I strive to create a learning space where all students feel safe to try things without fear of embarrassment, where students feel safe to fail, and where all students work together to encourage skill development. I constantly remind students that there are times where their skills and ability to succeed based on their personal experience will be greater than those around them. It is at those times that I encourage students to become assistant coaches and look to see if they can help struggling students find success. I also encourage students who are struggling to seek out help from those students they wish to emulate. When the classroom environment reflects a fun, friendly, positive environment in which all can learn, I know I have achieved success advancing student learning.
Reminders:
- Wear shoes that allow you to run and play.
- Dress for the weather. Layer your clothes in the winter.
- Bring a full water bottle. (Don’t forget to write your name on it.)
- If you are injured or not feeling well please bring a note from home excusing you from P.E. activities.
