Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Roberts PE! We are going to have a great year this year! We have some new ideas to try out this year, as well as some of the same exciting things. Before going any further, I need to list my classroom rules for P.E. I only have 3 rules in my class.

1. Follow Directions
2. Be Respectful
3. Have Fun!

Anything that happens in class can be categorized under one of these simple rules. If a student forgets these rules and has a problem at some point in my class, we follow a 3-strike policy.
Strike 1- Verbal warning
Strike 2- 2-3 minute time-out
Strike 3- Student sits out of P.E. for the rest of that day and a note will go home that will need to be signed by a parent and returned by the student.

These rules are not simply to single any student out, but since each class comes to P.E. for 45 minutes, once a week, it is very important that your child come to class ready and prepared to learn. Only when they become disruptive to the learning of others will I implement the 3 strike policy.

What to wear to P.E.- I always tell the students to remember that P.E. is ALWAYS the school day after they have music ancillary, that way they know what to wear to school the next day. I know it is hard to remember during a weekend, but I would like for the students to try their best to remember. This is for safety reasons, but also so that the students can be comfortable when we are outside moving around. I ask that students DO NOT wear sandals, flip-flops, CROCS, or any other type of foot wear that could accidentally come off. I do not want a shoe coming off and then a student stepping on a sharp rock or stick outside. If we are doing a running activity, I cannot allow a student to participate if they do not have on the proper type of shoe.

***Also, please be aware of ALL of the school dress code policy regarding what your child can and cannot wear to school.***

Your child's grade will be based on active participation, as well as progression of skill. If the child is actively engaged in the activity for the day, their grade will reflect that.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at any time at zlytton@houstonisd.org
Thanks so much!

P.S. Please be on the lookout for Marathon Kids information to come out in Tuesday folders in the near future!
