Physical Education

Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year at Carrie Downie Elementary! 

My name is Melissa Ringler, and I am one of the Physical Education teachers here at Carrie Downie.  Some of you may remember me as Ms. Sage, but on September 25th, 2009, I took a leap and got married.  The students and I are still adjusting to my new name, so if you hear either Ms. Sage or Mrs. Ringler, you’ll know they mean me!  I am proud to say this is my fifth year teaching at Carrie Downie and I am looking forward to it being a great one!         

This year is going to be filled with fun activities and a lot of learning!  We will learn and discuss nutrition information, muscles in the body, health related components of fitness, and much more! 

One of my main goals this year is to teach the children to become advocates for lifelong fitness/healthy lifestyles.  You can help!  Ask them about what they are learning!  Encourage them to share this information with you and with others!  It is important children understand what Physical Education is, as well as why it is important! 

Students are already aware of what is expected of them.  Each student should be working hard to meet the Delaware Standards for Physical Education, which can be found on this site under the “Page” category. 

Please help students learn their PE schedule (which can also be found on this site) so they can remember to bring sneakers and get as much activity time as possible. 

I will be updating this site with different events I have going on, so please feel free to get involved!  If you have any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail any time! 

Thank you!
