Grades 3-5

This year, Mr. Hinkel and myself will be teaching health to third and fifth grade. We will be going over a variety of topics that align to the Pennsylvania State Academic Standards for Health. The first topic we will be teaching is Decision Making and Conflict Resolution. We thought these two skills were important to start with.

The first lesson of Decision Making will consist of defining what a decision is, and identifying the steps in the Decision Making Process. The students will get to put the decision making process into practice during the lesson in a variety of activities. We will build on these skills as the year goes on.

Welcome Back!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. I am looking forward to a great year this year!This years physical education class will consist of many fun and exciting activities/games that will promote teamwork, leadership, cooperation, physical fitness, and skills needed to develop the students into being self sufficient lifelong learners.  I plan to incorporate games such as basketball, kickball, and floor hockey among other things to promote the skills listed above.  

      Some information that parents/guardians might be interested in are as followed-

1. Students should be dressed for class in a solid color tee shirt or polo shirt or any Spartan shirt.  Shorts are allowed to be worn for P.E. class until daylight savings time.  After that the students will need to wear athletic pants such as sweatpants or jogging pants or khakis.  Both the shorts and pants can have logos on them this year for P.E. class but try to have them as small as possible.  Sneakers are also a must for Physical Education.

2. Students should show either a doctors note or note from their parents/guardian pertaining to the physical health of the student (ie: if the student can't participate in P.E. due to a broken arm, sickness, injury, ect.)

3. Many different avenues will be used for grading the students such as skill tests, pencil and paper assessments, participation, and sportsmanship.  

      I will use this means of communication to post every unit of instruction I will be teaching and also for listing homework if necessary.  I look forward to a exciting productive year at North Schuylkill Elementary School.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to send me an email at (ebrylewski@northschuylkill.net) and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you,
Miss Brylewski (NSE Health and Physical Education Teacher)
