I would really like to see you guys getting active so send in those videos and pics! Let's finish out our school year with a bang!
Love and miss you guys! Coach Swanson Take the PYFP @ Home 4 Week Challenge and Make the Most of Your May
Students have been challenging themselves with PYFP @ Home since schools closed in March, getting stronger every day. With May being National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, PYFP @ Home wants to see how your hard work is paying off this month with the PYFP @ Home 4 Week Challenge that starts today! While our lives are upended by the sudden outbreak of this virus, we need to remember to keep our bodies in top condition so that when/if it has to fend off such sickness then the body will be at its best to do what is necessary. The link above will direct you to the CDC for information/updates on the virus.
With that being said, we will be weekly videos of ways to "get active". I encourage each of you, students and families, to get active at least 5 days a week, for at least 60 minutes a day at an intensity level of 3 or 4 (heart health: means you are exercising at least 80% of your max heart rate (220-age)). Please share your "Get Active" pics and videos through email. You can email me anytime between 10 - 2! Are you ready to PLAY 60? Walk to move your character in the game to explore a fun interactive environment and find football players! Add players to your roster, play catch with them, train with them, and prepare with them for competition. Open mystery boxes to collect footballs, hearts, and helmets to strengthen your players in training. Search for hidden objects to win additional prizes! See how many steps you take each day.
In the NFL PLAY 60 App you can:
Hope all is well! Missing seeing all of your smiling faces! I hope you are finding ways to get and stay active during this "Shelter-in-place" order. Until this is lifted and we are able to get back to our athletics and other activities, it is important to keep your body moving and working. I would love to see pics or videos of your fun active lifestyles! Hoping to see you again soon!
Physical education is designed to develop each child's physical, social, and emotional learning through a series of carefully planned and conducted activities. Children are at different developmental levels, with different needs and interests, for this reason, activities are geared towards a wide range of skill and fitness levels. All children are encouraged to work towards their personal best! Cooperation and sportsmanship will be stressed at each grade level. These qualities are essential when students are participating in small groups, working with partners and cooperative games. Our educational program is designed to develop skillful, fit and knowledgeable movers who will enjoy a lifetime of participation in physical activities.
As teachers and parents, we need to work together in and out of school to create an environment where your son and/or daughter can succeed! I urge you to get involved with the school and be active in your child's learning. If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at the school or via email. 
Character educationWhat is Character? The mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.
We will be studying character traits in PE throughout the course of the school year. Each month we will cover a different trait. Please ask your student about the trait of the month and discuss the importance of having good character.

We will continue our partnership with the Atlanta Falcons and the NFL in keeping the Rise Up! 159 Program at our school. This program was implemented 2 years ago and is the first of its kind anywhere to bring NFL Flag Football to every community in the state.

Your child will learn the ins and outs of flag football while strengthening their physical fitness and character.

"Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning." --Thomas Jefferson
