My Classroom

Physical Education with Mrs. Hoeschen

Physical education not only teaches the psychomotor domain but the cognitive and affective domains as well.  My goal is to have every student experience success.  I do not stress competition.  Instead I emphasize that if you do your best, then you are a winner.  Good sportsmanship and teamwork are very important not only in the gym, but in real life situations as well.  Good sportsmanship is always required in class!
