PE IN APRIL

 April Sports

I hope everyone had an amazing Spring Break and got the rest we all deserve. We have finished my 2 favorite sports.. basketball and volleyball... the student athletes did such a great job. As the year winds down we are going to be heading back outside to play mini golf and kickball. 

Please dress your students in accordance with the weather. April in AZ can get a little spicy outside, so the students should feel free to wear hats, sunscreen, and any other protective wear. If there is rain or the temperature exceeds 100, we will take class inside. Of course it should still be aligned with our uniform policy. If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to email me. 

 

Dressing for PE

HELLO K-1 STUDENTS/PARENTS! 🏀

Happy New Year to everyone! I am excited to begin our new sport in PE because it is one of my favorites to play, watch, and teach. We have started basketball and the students have done a magnificent job with dribbling. During warm ups, stretching, and play I have noticed some students finding themselves uncomfortable with their clothing and shoes. I thought it would help if parents new which day their students had PE class, that way they can come with proper athletic wear (as much as our uniform allows of course). 

 Mondays and Thursdays:

KA- McCormick/Trahan

KC- Howard/Zavala

            and

1A- Modisett/Miller

1C- Baij/Geyer

 Tuesdays and Fridays:

KB-Woinarowicz/Moore

            and

1B-Wittman/Chilson

I hope this is helpful to everyone and allows our scholar-athletes to have the best PE possible. Here's to a successful basketball lesson.

K-1 Physical Education Welcome Letter!

Hello Chargers!

Welcome to K-1 PE! My name is Catrina Warren and I am excited for this year to begin. For PE this year we will be learning a range of sports and activities from volleyball to soccer to jump roping to football. We will also be learning how to tie our shoes in a tight bow to ensure the laces stay tied throughout the day. The first weeks of school will be online and we will learn the importance of warming up and stretching before starting any activity or game.

Allow me the chance to tell you a little about myself.... I was born in Pomona, California and raised in Rancho Cucamonga, California where my life was centered around sports. My sports career started off with basketball at the age of 4. When I started junior high I joined the volleyball team and continued playing both volleyball and basketball in high school. My junior year in high school I committed to a volleyball scholarship to Iona College in New York. In 2015 I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice. I lived in New York for 6 years and moved to Arizona three years ago. I began my teaching journey with Archway Arete began three years ago as an TA in third grade and coaching PE for 3rd-5th grade. The next year I was a TA in second grade and coached K-1 PE. I have found my home at Arete as K-1 PE Coach and an ESSA. After hours I am the head coach of the varsity volleyball at Arete Prep and varsity basketball at Cicero Prep. My free time consists of working out, dancing, playing and snuggling with my 10 year old Shih-Poo, King, and spending time with my 5 siblings and mom. I also like to try out some of my mom's amazing cooking recipes.

I can't wait to get to know all your amazing kiddos and have fun watching them flourish as young scholar athletes!

GO CHARGERS!!! :)
