Hello E.B. Scripps Families!
My name is Mrs. Black and I am the Physical Education (P.E.) teacher. I am very excited to teach physical education at E.B. Scripps Elementary!
My degree is in Kinesiology. The specialized courses included work in understanding children's physical development and how they learn motor skills, scientific aspects of physical fitness and sports, as well as effective teaching techniques and progressions for a variety of lifetime sports and fitness activities.
As a result of attending professional developments and twenty-four years of full-time teaching, I have designed a program for children that helps them develop the physical competence that lead to confidence and participation in physical activity for a lifetime. My goal is to help children find a variety of ways to enjoy being physically active so that they will be able to get all of the physical, emotional, intellectual and social benefits that come to someone who is physically active
As a teacher I recognize that children are at different developmental levels, with a variety of needs and interests. For this reason in every class I attempt to provide all of the children with teaming experiences that are both beneficial and enjoyable. Each lesson is also adjusted to consider the wide range of skill and fitness levels that characterizes children in elementary school.
In closing, I want to invite you to observe a physical education class at any time during the year. Your child will have physical education once a week for 45 minutes.
In my personal life, I love traveling to Hawaii and attending Padres games with my husband. We have two children, our daughter is 22 and our son is 19 years old.
Sincerely,
Audrey J. Black
Physical Education Teacher
