Mrs. Trampel’s Junior High PE classes- Period 8
I am really excited to teach junior high students again. It has been 6 years since I last had junior high students in a PE class. What an exciting year it is going to be in physical education during 8th period PE classes. The room that we have in the gym and sometimes the outside field will allow us to do varied activities and increase student’s success. Physical Education is essential in every student’s life. It not only develops you physically, but also cognitively and emotionally. It is our hope with a diverse curriculum that you will strive to be physically active once you leave Belmond-Klemme Junior/Senior High School. Our overall goal is to teach you to be lifelong learners in physical activity.
Expectations:
· Follow directions first time given
· Be respectful to peers, teachers, self, and equipment
· Keep hands, feet, and all other objects to yourself
· Work hard and go above your potential
· Have fun
Consequences:
· Loss of points for the day and possible detention
Grading:
You will be assessed in a variety of ways
· Participation/Effort-20 points
· Respect-20 points
· Being prepared for class-10points
· Written/skill tests-varies
Maximum number of points given per class day is 50 points.
All students need to come to class ready to participate according to the activities for class. This would usually mean shorts, t-shirt and running shoes. Be in the gym walking and ready to go by 2:35. After that, you will be counted tardy. Being tardy 10 minutes or more, counts as an absence.
Absences:
To be able to get a passing grade, most absences will need to be made up. Check with me on what you can do to make up class. Sometimes what we do in class could be made up. Otherwise there are several examples listed below as to what can be used for makeup. Basic rule is that school athletic practices and competitions cannot be used for makeup. Relatives cannot sign you off for a makeup.
Some examples of make ups for class:
Fitness center workout, golfing, bowling, dance classes, community service, Jazzercise classes, swimming, weightlifting at school. You need to bring a signed form to me to make up class. Only 3 absences may be made up outside of school. After that, classes may be made up by coming to another PE class during the school day.
Medical Excuses:
A medical excuse must be signed by a physician to excuse you from activity in a PE class. If you do not have one, an alternative activity will be given for you to do.
Class Calendar:
Please take a class calendar, if you are interested. Activities may change as necessary due to weather, classroom availability, and equipment.
