Hello LBS Family! Welcome to my school website. I am super excited for another year of teaching Health and Physical Education to our students. This will be my 5th year at LBS and I am very proud and thankful to be a member of such a dedicated group of educators. The safety of every student is paramount at LBS and my number one classroom rule. I recommend that all students wear or bring a pair of running shoes\sneakers daily to school. Most of my PE classes will involve vigorous movement and shoes with heels, open toed shoes, boots, crocs or sandals are a safety concern. Even if your child does not have class with me they will be involved in outdoor play almost everyday at LBS. This year we will be implementing a new Health curricullum using The Great Body Shop program and materials. Our weekly health classes will focus on providing developmentally appropriate, skill-based activities to reinforce the lessons contained in each unit. Participation in may classes is a major part in learning and life. I stress to all my students the importance of being a part of the process and giving their best effort. I hope to give each of my students postive and memorable experiences that they can learn and grow from during their time at LBS.
My goal it to guide my students on the road to a healthy and active lifestyle. As a parent, I realize how important that our children have trustworthy and responsible teachers to help guide them. I will provide and promote materials and real time examples on the importance of building and maintaining positive health habits. My students will learn and build on their knowledge of different health topics such as hygiene, diet, body systems, and more. In my classes they will have the opportunity to demonstrate and share their progress while building on quality characteristics such as, respect, empathy, responsibility, teamwork, citizenship, sportsmanship and leadership.
I'm excited for another memorable year at LBS filled with fun, laughter and learning. Feel free to email via the "Contact Me" tab with any of your questions or concerns.
All the very best!
