Welcome !!!

Thank you parents for giving me a job by sending you children back to school.  I understand that you and your child may have met this day with excitement and I hope that this website will help you to know what to expect in my class this school year and answer any questions you may have.  I am looking forward to working with your child and helping him/her to achieve his/her full potential.  Through the remainder of this page, I will share some of my beliefs and classroom policies.

 

ABOUT ME:

  • Coach K.J. Elliott, eight years teaching experience.
  • Graduate of the University of Arkansas@Monticello(1998-2003) in Heath & P.E.
  • Graduate of the  University of Louisiana @ Monroe with a Masters in the Arts of Teaching.
  • I can be reached during school at (323-1143) or by email at [email protected]

 

Vision/Goals:

  • Academic: To teach students the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and to introduce them to sporting activities that may motivate them to keep up an active lifestyle.
  • Social: Show students the importance of sportsmanship and interacting with others.  I hope to also motivate students to participate in team sports as well.
  • Emotional: I believe in using health and physical education to promote a healthy self-esteem.  I will show students that how we maintain our health affects how we feel about ourselves.  Once we feel good about ourselves, it doesn’t matter how others perceive us. I also plan to give these students a feeling of loving and belonging to encourage them to be able to express themselves freely.

Materials:
 P.E. Uniform
 

Classroom Expectations:                                                               

  • Dress in appropriate clothing

  • Take care of provided equipment.

 

Practical Strategies:

To ensure that your child has a successful school year:

  1. 1.      Academically: Attendance is a big part of school requirements and participation is a requirement to achieve success within this class.  Please encourage your child to participate “daily”  during activities.
  2. 2.      Homework: Because this is a P.E. class, homework will not distributed.  Students will be graded on participation and performance.  By performance, I mean the ability to perform taught skills.  Parents can assist kids at home with improving the skills that have been taught in class.
  3. 3.      Resources:  I have provided a website to show you the types of activities that we will be doing in class. The Web address is: http://www.focusedfitness.org/
