Texan Physical Education Dept.
Volume 1 - Monday, August 28, 2017
New School Year, New P.E. Department
My goal as your child's physical education teacher is to make sure your child gets the most out of life. I want to show your child that there are many ways to be active so they can lead a long and healthy life. I look forward to guiding your child to reach their goals. Let's go Texans!
September BACK TO SCHOOL Challenge
Print out this month's challenge (see link below). Be sure to have a parent/guardian sign it at the end of the month and bring it in to Coach K.
What You Can Do
Emphasize the importance of following directions and putting forth their best effort in class. Ask your student what they learned not what they played each day.
Understand that if your child cannot participate due to illness or injury, a parent note is required stating why they cannot participate and for how long. After 3 days, a doctor's note is required.
Help them come to class prepared with proper tennis shoes. Help your child learn how to tie their shoes so they will be safe while participating!
Rules/Procedures
Students will continue to learn rules and procedures that they need to follow while in P.E. class. They will also be participating in team building activities that will allow them to get into groups quickly and communicate with their teammates.

60 Minutes Daily
The CDC recommends that your child gets at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise DAILY. They also recommend that adults get 150 minutes per week. Your child receives 50 minutes of P.E. every other day, which leaves them with days for you to be active with them after school hours! Get out and enjoy!
National P.E. Standards
Your child will be assessed based on these physical education standards.
Standard 1: The physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
Standard 2: The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.
