LET'S START THE SCHOOL YEAR!

WELCOME TO PYSICAL EDUCATION

ZEELAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

2020-2021

MS. MILLER

Happy beginning of the school year everyone! It feels like I haven't seen you since forever ago! I hope everyone had a great (albeit a different type of) summer! I'm looking forward to this school year for a lot of different reasons, but the biggest reason of all is to get to work with the best students in the world in grades Kindergarten all the way to 8th!!

 Some things will be different this year for PE class. Here are a few:

  • PE will be outside and down the hill as long as the weather permits (pray for comfortable weather!). If it's raining, too cold, etc. we will meet in the gym and participate in our classes safely.
  • Since we are outside, please wear shoes that can get a little wet, dirty, etc.
  • Middle school students do not need to change into "PE clothes" at this time so dress accordingly for activity (note the info on shoes mentioned above...)
  • Middle school students bring masks just in case they will be needed at times.
  • Be prepared for lots of different activities than what we've maybe done in the past (some fitness based, leisure based, etc.) Don't worry, we'll still do some of the "oldie but goodies" and still have lots of fun!!
  • Be assured that sanitizing precautions are being put in place to keep equipment and students safe.

Welcome back everyone! I'm excited to get the year going. I also realize that there will be things that come up that were maybe not anticipated but please join me in praying for patience, grace, understanding, positive attitudes and above all guidance & protection from God. He is in control of all things and I've never been more thankful for that! 

See you all soon!

DISTANCE LEARNING "P.E. STYLE" INTRO

DISTANCE LEARNING “P.E. STYLE” Hi everyone! This is quite the unexpected way to be "doing" PE to say the least! If you are like me, you might be saying something like "Hey, we can easily find ways to stay active for at least 60 minutes a day!" or "We've already included a physical activity/exercise time into our new daily routine." or "Oh no, is this just one more paper we need to file, email, or keep track of until this is over!?"😊 NEVER FEAR! At this point, there will be no reporting (again, at this point. That could change...) This is a new way of teaching for me just like its a new way of learning for your families. We're in this together and I'm sure we'll be evolving and adjusting together! I'm sure many of you have already been busy with daily activity inside or outdoors - hopefully the temperatures will start to climb so that will be able to continue! While most of us can find ways to stay on top of re...
