Programs at Flatirons to promote fitness
Introductory Letter
October, 2008
Loren Tillotson, P.E. Teacher
Most of you already know that I am new to Flatirons Elementary School. I was born here in Boulder and grew up in Nederland. I actively participated in many sporting activities growing up, but focused most of my time and energy on alpine ski racing. I completed my B.A. at the University of Colorado at Boulder in Psychology and Elementary Education, and did my student teaching in the first grade. I went on to get a M.S. in Sport and Exercise Science: Sport Pedagogy and Physical Education. Over the last eight years I have also coached for the Eldora Mountain Ski Club. My husband is a professional cyclist so we currently split our time between Boulder and Girona, Spain. I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach in Boulder (my favorite place) and become a part of such a special community. I look forward to a fun, exciting, and active year!
The Physical Education program at Flatirons Elementary School is based on the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) Physical Education content standards and curriculum. The BVSD Physical Education standards are modeled after the National and Colorado content standards for physical education. The BVSD content standards are:
-
Students will demonstrate skills and apply concepts to a variety of physical activities.
-
Students will demonstrate the components of health-related physical fitness.
-
Students will demonstrate knowledge of physical fitness concepts and the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle.
-
Students will demonstrate safe, responsible behavior in physical education settings.
One thing you can do to help your student be safe and responsible in P.E. (Standard 5) is ensure they wear appropriate foot wear to P.E. Boots, shoes with heels, flip-flops, sandals, Crocs, and open toed shoes are NOT safe to wear in P.E. Shoes that stay snug on the foot and provide support and good traction are best. Below is the P.E. schedule so you and your student know which days are P.E. days.
Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or to introduce yourself. I have enjoyed meeting and getting to know your students and I would love to meet you too. Again, I look forward to a great, exciting, healthy, and active year!
Sincerely,
Loren Tillotson
