Junior High PE classes-8th hour

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 8^th 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.

My contact information

I’m only at this building during 8^th hour.  Otherwise, you can find me at Jacobson Elementary from 7:20-2:20.  Most of the time, I will go back to Jacobson after 8^th period class and finish out my day there.  If you have questions at any time this semester, please email me at kay.trampel@bkcsd.org or call me at extension 353 and leave a message.  I keep my blog updated weekly so you can check my blog called “Jacobson Elementary Gymshorts” to keep informed about what’s going on in 8^th period PE class.  It will be listed under the Jacobson Elementary Blogs. Click on my name.

Welcome to the Jacobson Elementary/Junior High PE Department

Welcome to all of you to a brand new school year.  I'm very excited for this new year.  We have many things, new and old,  planned for this school year in the PE department.  For those of you who don't know me, I'm Mrs. Trampel, K-8 PE teacher.  Stop in to see me during the elementary conferences.  I'll be in the gymnasium to welcome you.  If I'm at the junior/senior high teaching classes, I will leave a note to let you know where I'm located. 

I do have a short parent note for all K-4 students located below in blue.  The second note is to parents of 5th and 6th grade students.   All classroom teachers will have one for you at conferences.  If you don't get one, you may pick one up in the gymnasium.

If you ever have any questions, please emaill me at kay.trampel@bkcsd.org or call me at extension 353 and leave a message.  I'm here to help your son/daughter have a fun and positive "exercise-filled" experience.
 

Dear Parent/Guardians of K-4^th grade students,

Welcome to the Jacobson Elementary gymnasium.  The gym floor has been resurfaced and looks like a new floor again.  Our custodians worked really hard this summer painting the walls with our school colors.  Our community, staff, and students are very proud of what we have here for our facilities.  We all do our best to try and keep it that way throughout the school year.

We have a lot of fun activities going on here in the gym during physical education classes and sometimes outside when the weather is nice.  For your child to be successful and positive about what we are doing here he/she needs clean PE shoes that can be tied or fastened securely by the student.  Also, shoes that are not secured can fly off and hit other students.  If your child can’t tie their shoes, please work with them so they can learn to tie their shoes.  Getting them Velcro shoes is another option. 

When the weather is nice and we go out for PE class, outside running shoes should be worn for class.  Flip flops and sandals are not safe for the students to wear.  Usually, we don’t want them to wear their PE shoes since they could become muddy or full of grass.  If they do, the student is responsible in getting their shoes cleaned off before they use them in the gymnasium.

5^th and 6^th grade students will need PE clothes for class.  This would mean shorts/sweats, t-shirt and a towel.  Students have a PE locker to keep all of their items in it.  The school does not provide a padlock to secure the locker.  Students can put their own padlock on the locker.  The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

I’m looking forward to a great school year.  If you have any questions, please email me or call me.

Mrs. Trampel, K-8 PE teacher
