About The Teacher

Welcome to Ms. White's P.E. page.  Here's a little info. about me.  I have 
been teaching elementary Physical Education for twelve years, four of them 
with the Stamford school district.  I also facilitate the Student Council at 
Hart Magnet.  My weekly schedule is divided between two schools.  I am at 
Hart Magnet on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  On Monday and Wednesday I 
teach at Toquam Magnet.  Feel free to contact me with questions or comments 
at the number listed above.

Goals of the Program

My goals for the P.E. program are that the students will enjoy learning a 
variety of different sports, games and physical activities they can continue 
playing into adulthood.  When fitness and physical activity are incorporated 
daily, children tend to focus more in class and may maintain a healthier, 
more active teenage/adult lifestyle.

Two important components emphasized throughtout the PE curriculum are 
teaching children how to work together (teamwork), and being respectuful in 
game situations (sportsmanship).  Students are taught to be able to make 
these connections in physical education with other aspects of their daily 
lives, whether it be working on a group project, or responding appropriately 
while playing/watching a sporting event. 
Lastly, the students should be able to recognize and understand the 
different effects of physical activity on one's mind and body.
