I am in my 12th year teaching Physical Education at the Milton Elementary School. During my first two years, I split my day, working at both Milton and the Waterville Elementary School. During the summer of 2004, I completed my requirements to earn a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Vermont. UVM is also where I completed a post baccalaurette program for my teaching license in Physical Education. My undergraduate studies were completed at SUNY Brockport. I am a member of both, AAHPERD (national), and VAHPERD (state), Physical Education organizations. In addition to teaching, I am also the Varsity girls soccer coach at Milton High School and a boys basketball coach at Winooski Middle School. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, biking, snow-shoeing, traveling and spending time with my family.

What
are the expectations for my child in PE?
The goal of PE is for the students to begin to learn about their bodies and how to use them correctly. This will lead the students to learn the skills and concepts necessary for a life-time of physical activity. To do this students need to:
1. Attempt every challenge without saying "I can't".2. Respect everyone in class at all times.
3. Make safe decisions.
4. Be enthusiastic every class.
5. Bring proper clothing and sneakers.
6. Learn ways to be physically active for a lifetime.
7. Have Fun!!!

What
is my child doing this month in PE?
February 14, 2012
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PE WITH MR. PAYSON & MS. FROESCHL:
The 3rd and 4th graders started a basketball unit this week that will be finished after vacation. Dribbling, passing and shooting were the focus of this week. Next week, we will start putting these skills into games where the students will play offense and defense. Ask your child how the word BEEF reminds them of the key parts of shooting a basketball.
The 6th graders are doing an inline skating unit. We have taught them a variety of ways to do the basic skills of skating, turning, and stopping. Each class, students have time at the beginning and end to free skate while the middle portion of time is spent teaching a few new skills each class. Our 5th graders are in their 3rd week of basketball. We have reviewed shooting, dribbling, passing and already are putting the students in to mini-games. We are focusing on offensive strategies this unit, while revisiting the defensive strategies we taught during the fall in soccer.
ALSO:
I have posted a short 5 minute (or less) parent survey on my web page. The survey link is at the top of of the page. Click Parent Survey and then complete the questionnaire. There is also a short survey for your child to take (Click Student Survey). Thanks in advance for taking the time to provide the PE staff with valuable feedback on our programs!
How is
my child being assessed in PE?
3rd - 4th grade students in Physical Education are assessed in three areas throughout the school year:
|
|
|
|
|
Students provide a daily score on their social and affective behaviors. How they challenge themselves, manage their behavior, and treat others, are all parts of this daily score. |
Students will be asked to demonstrate the major skills and concepts of the units that they are involved in. |
This is a whole class assessment. Each classroom has a chance to earn an All-Star Award if they do a great job with their effort during Physical education. A star chart is kept for each trimester of the school year. If a class earns 12 awards during a trimester, they earn a free choice day where the class gets to choose the activity for that day. |
|
Parents will receive an average of their daily scores along with a detailed explanation of what each level means after each tri-mester. |
Parents will receive tri-semester report cards detailing the most recent assessments that were performed. |
Classroom teachers receive a certificate if their class earns a PE All-Star Award that day. |
5th and 6th grade students in Physical Education are assessed in five areas throughout the school year:
*STUDENTS RECEIVE AN ON-GOING PHYSICAL EDUCATION REPORT CARD THAT IS UPDATED EACH TRIMESTER.
*EACH ASSESSMENT IS RECORDED ON THIS REPORT CARD.
|
|

Students provide a daily score on their social and affective behaviors. How they challenge themselves, manage their behavior, and treat others, are all parts of this daily score. |
Students have a written test to conclude each unit during the school year. Take home study guides are provided a week before each written test. Some units have take home written tests. |
Students will be asked to demonstrate the major concepts within each unit and will be assessed on a rubric. |
Students will be asked to demonstrate the major skills within each unit and will be assessed on a rubric. |
This is a whole class assessment. Each classroom has a chance to earn a PE ALl-Star Award if they do a great job with their effort during Physical Education. A check-off chart is kept for each trimester of the school year. If a class earns awards 90% of the time during a trimester, they earn a free choice day where the class gets to choose the activity for that day. |
