Physical Education
Classes for Grades 3 - 5
 
Dear Parents,
I want to welcome you back for the 2008-2009 school year! My name is
Dr. Michael Lydiate and I will be your child’s Physical Education
Teacher (grades 3-5). This will be my 13th year in the Muscogee County
School District and I am so excited that after eight years, physical
educators are back in the elementary school setting.
Our program will follow the National Physical Education Standards as
well as the Georgia QCC’s (Quality Core Curriculum). My main objectives
are to get our kids excited about exercising again and to educate them
on the importance of exercising for a healthier lifestyle.
Monday through Friday, your child will meet with me for 40 minute
lessons. I need your help to make sure that your child comes prepared
with the appropriate attire for physical education. They will not be
dressing out like our middle and high schools, but we will be doing a
lot of mat work, (sit-ups, push-ups, sit and reach, etc.), running, and
jumping, etc. Tennis shoes will be required to participate in our
classes. My first priority for our students will be SAFETY FIRST!
I plan on having a link within our schools website so that you will
always be a couple of clicks away from knowing what we will be doing
during our time together. If you have any questions, please contact me
by email or phone. I am looking forward to teaching your child!
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Lydiate
