P.E. Coaches / Entrenadores



A Message From Dr. O




I wanted to share a few guidelines as well as some activities for you as you navigate in-home learning over the next several weeks:
1. Success is a great motivator. Regardless of the activity, start with activities your youngster can perform.
2. Novelty also motivates children. Change activities often and use different pieces of equipment.
3. Do activity in short spurts. Children quickly become fatigued and bored. Stop before both you (parents) and your child become frustrated.
4. Reinforce effort and trying. Pushing for a successful performance will result in frustration. If a youngster fails at an activity several times, move to a different activity and come back to it later.
5. Perform activities outdoors when the weather allows. Aerobic activity is best suited to outdoor areas.
6. As a parent, be positive and share the enjoyment of watching or taking part in your child’s play. Children learn through movement and the social interactions related to movement.
