Physical Education with Coach Yost

Coach Jacob Yost is our full-time gym teacher who we share part-time with another school in the system. He teaches Physical Education in elementary schools by day, while he coaches the High School wrestling team in the evenings. P.E. classes will be held with Ms. Link's. In addition, Mrs. McClintock's special education students will be joining in on the fun. Mrs. Cindy Newman will be in the gym with Coach Yost as they teach the classes together. In gym class, your student spends time:

- learning to follow procedures used to start and end class daily
- participating in fun and engaging games that keep them active
- practicing important social skills such as taking turns, good sportsmanship, and following directions

Remember to ask your Kindergartener how their day was. I am sure if you ask specific questions like "What did you do in P.E. today with Coach Yost?" they might be more inclined to say more than "nothing."
