Hello My Name Is...
Mrs. Cook>
Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Cook and this is my 14th year here at H.E.S. I am excited to begin our school year and look forward to teaching you! I hope to incorporate a variety of new games and fitness activities into my P.E. program; if you have any suggestions please drop them off in the suggestion box or shoot me an email!! I am always looking for new ideas : )
Games help children learn important skills such as problem solving, sharing, following rules and directions and being a team player. Aside from games, students will be introduced to sports for recreational purposes while developing sportsmanship qualities. These skills will help develop agility, balance, cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility and strength.
Although this year may look a little different this year, I am still very excited to be teaching you both in person and online. I have created a google classroom for each grade level and will be posting my assignments/activities there twice a week (once a week for pre k). Things will look a little different then last year, so instead of having choice boards you will have one or two unit based activities to perform. You may be asked to use google forms or submit answers to me weekly through google classroom. At times I will also encourage pictures or videos. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at dcook@hesk6.us
