Physical Education
Dear Parents and Families:
I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome into our new and upcoming school year. My name is Jean Cornwell and I will be your child’s Physical Education and Health Teacher.
My philosophy for learning is that each child is unique, and each child learns in a different way. One of my jobs as a teacher is to help your child discover his or her individuality and work alongside with them to maximize it. I believe in hands-on experiences, learning creatively and learning though play. I am very excited for a fun–filled and educational year!
