Mrs. Baker
As you learned from the communication sent out by the district yesterday, starting Monday, November 30th, there will no longer be an official PE class in the remote setting. I’m sad to be leaving you, but I know you will benefit from this change, as it will give you an opportunity to focus more on your other courses.
I have so enjoyed working with and teaching each and every one of you this semester! Even though we won’t have a class together anymore, I encourage you to still be active as much as you can. We have talked a lot about why it is so important to get moving and exercise each day. Find something you enjoy to do - that will make it easier to motivate to do it. 🙂
I wish you all the best and I really will miss you guys! Please keep in touch and send me an email every once in a while letting me know what’s happening...I love hearing from you!
