Coach Deutsch
Dear parents/guardians,
My name is Altheia Deutsch aka Coach Deutsch. I will be your son or daughter's physical education teacher this year. I am also the PE teacher at Sims Elementary and here at Hart Elementary. The program has been designed to focus on three major areas that contribute to one's physical health and well-being: Movement concepts. Skill themes. Wellness concepts.
As a teacher I recognize that children are at different developmental levels, with a variety of needs and interests. For this reason in every class I attempt to provide all of the children with teaming experiences that are both beneficial and enjoyable. Each lesson is also adjusted to take into account the wide range of skill and fitness levels that characterizes children in elementary school.
I graduated from Austin Peay State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and a minor in education in 1999.
I am married. I have a 15 year old son who is a varsity golf player at Lehman High School in Kyle, Tx. I also have two pit mix dogs.
My hobbies include photography, working out, yoga and looking up new projects/recipes on Pinterest.
I am very proud of the physical education program at Hart Elementary School and looking forward to being your scholar's physical education teacher this year. Thank you! Coach Deutsch
