Welcome to Elementary PE!!!
My name is Kayla Hutcheson. I am the PE teacher here at Kimberly Elementary. This is my 6th year of teaching PE and my 9th year here in Kimberly. I believe I have the best job. I also coach Varsity softball, JV Girls basketball, and Freshmen Football at KHS. I am a High School graduate from Kimberly High School and College graduate from Walla Walla Community College and Boise State University.
I believe that Physical Education needs to include physical activity along with a whole lot of fun. In our PE classes we start with a warm up activity that usually consists of some laps or some form running that will get our bodies warmed up. We then do some stretches that increase our flexibility and also decreases the chance of injury during our games. Stretching is then followed by pushups to increase our upper body strength and then situps or curlups to increase our core strength. The rest of the class period is spent learning skills and games that are designed to improve our overall physical health.
