3. Motivation:
During the first day of class I will inform the students on how physical education will
benefit them for the rest of their life. I will have understand that they can take the skills
learned in during class time can be completed outside of class. They will also get an
understanding on how they will benefit from staying healthy and fit by completing the
daily tasks during class time. Since the students are at a younger age I will provide them
with choices, so they can learn basic decision-making skills. I will also be modifying the
activities, so that it will be challenging for each student but appropriate for their level.
Intrusive Events: When the student needs to leave the class for the bathroom,
drink, or office I will have them sign out where they are going and when they
come back. I will have this I on a bulletin board next to a clock, so they can write
down the time when they leave and come back, because they only have 3 minutes
to be gone. Also on the bulletin board will be a pass with Physical
Education/Gym on it which needs to be with them when they are gone, so if they
are seen by another faculty member they know what class they should be in. Since
it is at the elementary age I want the students to ask me first as well before they
go in case they will something important.
Teaching area/boundaries: I will use the lines on the gym floor or needed use tape
to map out the area I want the students to perform each task. They will be
informed ahead of time what each line or tape means. For activities such as
stations I will use posters or signs to demonstrate which task they need to
accomplish at that station.
Organization of equipment: The equipment for physical education classes will
always be locked away in a closet which will be closed during class for safety
reasons. I will have equipment being used during the class period on a rack or bin,
so the students know that is only equipment they can touch or use during the
period. I will try to have equipment set up and ready for each class beforehand if
it is not in the way or a distraction to students while they enter the gym. When
students are getting or putting away equipment I will be there monitoring them to
make sure they are maintaining safety which is also mentioned before they
receive equipment. All equipment will be checked over before classes start and
the students will tell me if anything is broken.
6. Equipment Use:
Organization of equipment (same as above): The equipment for physical education
classes will always be locked away in a closet which will be closed during class for safety
reasons. I will have equipment being used during the class period on a rack or bin, so the
students know that is only equipment they can touch or use during the period. I will try to
have equipment set up and ready for each class beforehand if it is not in the way or a
distraction to students while they enter the gym. When students are getting or putting
away equipment I will be there monitoring them to make sure they are maintaining safety
which is also mentioned before they receive equipment. All equipment will be checked
over before classes start and the students will tell me if anything is broken.
The students will be taught at the beginning of the year and before each lesson on the
particular class period I will show what the equipment should look like in good condition.
This way they will know to report if its not working right or something broke.
7. Safety
As a faculty member I will have my class period attendance list, room keys, emergency
packs, and a radio/phone ready in case of an emergency. The school district will have an
emergency action plan that reports where the gym class should go for each type of
emergency. I will make sure my students remain in a single file line and follow only the
class and me so they dont get lost or out of control. I will have the class start to leave
and I will make sure everyone is out of the gym and close the door, and then lead the
students to the appropriate area.
8. Communication with Parents:
At the beginning of each year I will send a letter home introducing myself, providing
them information on the material that will be presented in class, and information on how
they can contact me. I will also have an online physical education page on the school
website that the parents can view for updates or reminders on the class. Parents will
receive calls home or letters for students that have been performing very well or students
that are causing misbehavior constantly. I will also host an open house night and host
parent teacher conferences. Throughout the year I will send home some homework
assignments with the students that involve the parents participation to make sure they are
involved in their childs education.

Dear Parent and/or Guardian:
My name is Robyn Hellenbrand and I will be your son or daughters physical
education teacher this year. In this letter I want to briefly describe the physical education
program at (name of district) and what your child can expect to learn over the course of
the year.
At (name of district) your child will have physical education (district schedule).
The program has been designed to focus on three major areas that are contributed to
ones physical health and well-being:
Movement concepts: we will go over basic locomotor skills (ex. running,
skipping, jumping) and non-locomotor skills (ex. pushing, balancing, and
stretching).
Motor skills: we go over basic manipulative skills (ex. throwing, catching,
kicking)
Importance of well-being: providing lifelong wellness and fitness; using
health-related fitness components (ex. muscular strength/endurance,
flexibility) and skill-related components (ex. speed, agility, balance)
As a physical education teacher I realize that children are at all different
developmental levels, and have a variety of needs and interests. I will attempt to provide
all children with beneficial and enjoyable experiences. Each of my lesson plans are
adjusted to fit each students level of skill of fitness.
In closing I want to invite you to an open house, parent teacher conferences, and
participation in your childs homework assignments throughout the year. I am very proud
of the physical education program at (name of district) and looking forward to being your
childs physical education teacher this year.
Sincerely,
Robyn Hellenbrand

(Contact information)
start working on good behavior skills, giving positive feedback to others, and working well with
others. I also feel like this age group can start making classroom rules with the teachers help, so
they fully understand what is asked from them. When making classroom rules at this level you
want to make sure they are basic or general and positive. The theory I choose to use as discipline
came from Skinner- Behavior Modification. I choose this theory because I believe that
punishment should not be used in the classroom and ignoring negative behavior is best.
Students at the elementary level need to learn how to follow instructional methods
appropriately. These skills need to be learned early on, so once they get to the middle level they
know what to expect. I want them to understand that they need act appropriately and respect the
rules when completing tasks like entering/exiting the gym and starting and stopping a class. I
believe that using music or a whistle can be very beneficial to start and stop a class, because it
will be very loud in the gym. They also need to understand to participate in a variety of groups so
they understand how to work with every type of individual.
