Procedures

Daily PE Routine

Students line up in a straight line with voices off before entering the gym so Coach Reese can check that everyone is ready for a great day in PE.

After being allowed in, students may talk appropriately while beginning their walking warm-up around the gym. Music will be playing to create a fun, positive PE environment.

Coach Reese will blow the whistle and direct students to their assigned seating spots. Coach will then explain and demonstrate the day's activity. Students will participate in the activities, then return to their assigned spots for dismissal.
