Healthy and not healthy food. 

Students are divided into 6 teams, and beanbags are scattered on the other side of the playing area. When time begins, students run and grab a beanbag. If they get a healthy one, they put it in their bag. If they get an unhealthy one, they put it back. When time runs out, the team with the healthiest beanbags wins!

My name is Eric Barsallo. I am a Physical Educator with 22 years of experience in schools. My relevant experience in the field includes:

2 years as a lifeguard (red cross & WaterPark)

5 years as a youth soccer coach, (Alianza FC, Chorrillo FC)

Personal trainer and spinning (Powerclub Gym),

15 years as triathlon trainer, and now a Technical Offiicial for unión de triatlón de Panamá (UTP)

Below is some useful information for the entire school year regarding the Physical Education (P.E.) kit:

P.E. uniform: MET uniform grey t-shirt, MET uniform blue shorts, water bottle-labeled, running shoes (NO CLEATS) and hat-labeled

    No jewelry is permitted during the P.E. class time.

In an unusual case of inability to do physical activities, we require a medical evaluation with your certification sent to the homeroom teacher, with a copy to me.

    Learning in Physical Education for Grades 3 through 5 include:

First trimester: Team sports with ball (kickball, baseball), jump rope and diagnostic exercises used to set individual physical fitness goals

Second trimester: aquatic safety, rescue techniques, swimming (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke & butterfly),  and water sports (snorkeling, water polo)

Third trimester:  Track & Field: for field events: (Long jump, Javelin, shot put, discus, High Jump) and for track: (sprints, speed walk, hurdles, relay); as well as handball and soccer

I look forward to a school year with a positive support for our P.E. students.     

Welcome Back

Music and Movement 

Welcome Back Early Childhood Students 

Music and Movement help develop self-esteem, gross motor skills, social skills, listening skills and so much more. We all know gross motor movement is important for development, but when kids move to music, they are getting so much more than just exercise. They are developing their coordination, balance, concentration and cognitive abilities.

 

I look forward to an enjoyable process of learning with your children,

Please feel free to contact me for any questions

Hello, Welcome back to a new year in PE class at the MET, 

My name is Danixa Orrego Oyanedel, from Chile, I am a mom, a wife and I am a teacher since more than 10 years. I will be with our Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade levels.

I am very excited to initiate our Physical Educational class, many new activities, games and  experience learning through the fun and discovery.

Our goal, as a PE teacher is to provide the skills and opportunities for your child to embrace health and physical activities for life.

 The Parent’s Role

To help your child be successful this year, please follow our simple guidelines:

Gym Shoes

Your child will need gym shoes (sneakers, tennis shoes) to participate in activities.  They must have a flat bottom (no heel) and the foot must be fully covered.  Sandals, Crocs, clogs, dress shoes, boots and any heeled shoes are not appropriate for class. 

Doctor’s Notes

If your child needs to be excused from PE class, please provide a doctor’s note explaining 

.  why your child can not participate

.  a date when the child will be able to rejoin participation in class  

If you have questions or information that might help me better work with your child please contact me. I encourage you to have the best communication between teacher-parent to provide the best PE experience. My email: dorrego@themetropolitanschool.com
