GREENWOOD PE SCHEDULE:
My name is Jeannie Bastasch and I am the Physical Education Teacher at Greenwood School. I started teaching elementary physical education in 1999 and I’ve been teaching at Greenwood since 2004. Ultimately, the goal of a quality P.E. program is to inspire children to live an active and healthy life by teaching the knowledge and skills related to physical activity, fitness and nutrition. A successful elementary physical education curriculum also offers opportunities for children to experience success and challenge in a variety of areas, regardless of age or skill level.
Seattle physical education
The Seattle Physical Education department uses a curriculum called “Five for Life”. The number “five” refers to the five components of fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance; muscular endurance; muscular strength; flexibility; and body composition. “Five for Life” also includes units about nutrition, the muscular and skeletal body systems, and heart health. I also teach a unit about the circulatory system and the digestive system and all of these health and fitness concepts are integrated into active lessons and even obstacle courses!
For more information about “Five for Life” go to www.focusedfitness.org.

Many students need good running and athletic shoes for school, and especially for P.E. If your child has outgrown his or her old tennis shoes please consider donating them to the gym for other students the wear. Also, if you are interested in helping me apply for a grant or donation of good running shoes please contact Jeanne Bastasch
