Hello everyone. First and foremost, I want you to know that I am really missing each and every one of you. I was really enjoying all my classes this year and I look forward to seeing you again soon. I teach Physical Education and leadership this year. These are both courses that are obviously easier to conduct in a face to face format. However, I would like to keep in touch with you and offer my PHE classes some weekly workout ideas. I would also like to offer some tips to staying healthy, both mentally and physically. My Senior PHE classes, I will be asking you to do a little bit of work in coming up with your long-term goals and plans for physical activity after graduation. Link Crew, I will be asking you to reflect on our year to date as leaders in the school.
I have two children at home. We are making exercise a priority every day. It is part of our daily routine and is non-negotiable in our house. Most days we are hiking, jogging, biking or roller blading on local trails or in our neighbourhood. We have made nutrition a priority at home and even though we find ourselves eating out of boredom, we make sure to eat at least two healthy meals a day. My children have been more involved in cooking than they ever have been before. We Definity treat ourselves, but we are working to keep lots of fruits and veggies in our diet. All of us stay connected to our friends and family on-line and we try to stay connected as a family by doing at least one activity together every day. Some of these activities have included; playing board games, completing a large puzzle, painting our nails, a push-up challenge and creating tik-toks. I will be working on having a separate folder for each of these three classes in the coming weeks. You can keep in touch with me via e-mail. Jaclyn_gibbs@sd42.ca
Take care and we will be connecting soon.
Link Crew-I will be asking you to reflect on a fabulous year of leadership and connection. You have all had various levels of commitment, which is to be expected in a course that operates outside of the tine-table. You are busy and high-achieving students. You have been responsible for adding to the culture of the school this year and for that I am extremely proud. In your reflection I would ask any grade 10’s and 11’s who are interested in returning to the program to please let me know. By the end of June, I would like you to generate a thoughtful response based on the following points:
