Hi, and welcome to my web page. I enjoy teaching Physical Education part-time to the Pre-School, 2^nd and 5^th grade classes.  The students and parents at SMLS are the best!  In my free time I enjoy playing tennis and spending time with my husband (Scott) and two daughters (Kristin and Jenny).  I also enjoy coaching the awesome 5^th and 6^th grade volleyball team here at St. Michael and helping to coach my daughters' various soccer, basketball and volleyball teams.

In Pre-School Physical Education, the emphasis is on developing locomotor skills (running, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping, etc.) and learning to play as a team.  In 2^nd grade, we work on physical skills such as throwing, catching, kicking, and introduce basic team concepts.  In 5^th grade the emphasis is on Physical Fitness and developing lifelong exercise habits.  We also introduce team sports such as softball, basketball, kickball and some traditional and nontraditional playground games.  In all classes the emphasis is on enjoying physical activity and developing good sportsmanship and a healthy attitude toward physical activity and competition that will help students throughout their lives.
