Dear Parent /Guardian,

I would like to share with you some information regarding my physical education philosophy, classroom rules, consequences, and grading system.

Mr. Knauer’s Physical Education Philosophy Statement:

To promote positive attitudes towards physical activity and healthy living through movement, with emphasis placed on self-improvement, cooperation, and sportsmanship.

Classroom Rules:

1. Be Respectful

2. Follow Directions

3. Demonstrate Sportsmanship/Cooperation

Classroom Consequences:

1. Warning

2. Time-out: loss of possible points for the day (1-3)

3. Letter Home

Grading:

Your child will be graded daily on a point system. Each day your child has an opportunity to earn three points. Points will not be awarded if your child fails to meet the criteria below:

o Listening and following directions

o Participation

1. PE shoes are a requirement for participation.

2. Students are expected to fully participate in all activities to the best of their ability.

o Cooperation and Sportsmanship

In addition to the daily points your child will also be graded on written tests, assessments, and projects.

I look forward to providing the best possible physical education experience for your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (815) 858 – ????.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jeremy Knauer

K-5 Physical Education Instructor
