Hello,
My name is Mr. Thome and I am
one of the Physical Education teachers at Folwell. I am excited to be back with the students
again after the summer break, and I am proud to be a part of your child’s
education!
The Rochester Elementary
Physical Education (PE) program provides emphasis on health, physical fitness,
and development of the skills, and habits necessary for a lifetime of
health-related and recreational activities.
This program also provides enjoyment, challenge, and social interaction
through a variety of activities. The
students will receive a physical education report card each trimester that
reflects their progress.
Students are expected to wear
safe, athletic shoes and clothes appropriate for active participation. We will be running, jumping, kicking, etc. Sandals,
boots, crocs, heels, platforms, etc…are unsafe and should not be worn during physical
education class. Please do not feel you
must buy an expensive pair of shoes for class.
All I ask is that the shoes you provide for your child are comfortable and
designed for athletic activities.
You will find the ABC calendar on this link below, which can help them to
remember what days to bring their shoes to school for their PE time. https://www.rochesterschools.org/families/calendars
In PE class I expect all
students to come prepared, (please work on tying shoes J) be respectful listeners, use safe body control, be
positive toward others, and to try their
best. Our goal in PE is to be
physically active, improve motor skills, cooperate with others, and have
fun! I want students to understand that
fitness can be fun, and can lead to a better lifestyle.
Also, if you have any health or
social concerns regarding your child, please send a letter or feel free to
contact me at clthome@rochesterschools.org The health and safety of your child is very
important to me. I also want to ensure you that our PE department will strictly
follow all the cleaning and social distancing guidelines to help prevent the
spread of COVID-19 and other sicknesses as well.
Sincerely,
Clint
