** ABOUT YOUR TEACHER **
Hello, my name is Mrs. Monypenny, Physical Education (P.E.) Teacher at Smith Elementary.

I have previously taught elementary P.E. in Aldine ISD for 10 years and this is my fifth year at Smith Elementary. I am a former Spring ISD student.

I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and a minor in General Business. I attended University of Houston and earned a Master of Education degree in Physical Education.

I love teaching children life skills, teamwork, and healthy habits for wellness. I am looking forward to an awesome year at Smith Elementary!

** WELCOME TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION **
Our classes are off to a great start!
For your child's safety, tennis shoes must be worn on their scheduled P.E. day.
P.E. SCHEDULE
Monday: Blue
Tuesday: Red
Wednesday: Yellow
Thursday: Orange
Friday: Green
Tennis shoes should NOT have wheels coming out of the bottom of the shoe and need to have a full-enclosed heel on the back. Cleats, boots, sandals, and slip-on shoes cannot be worn in P.E. class because it may be hazardous to your child's safety.

If proper shoes are not worn to class your child will not be allowed to participate for that day. Please remember that participation affects a major part of your child's academic grade. Also, girls are encouraged to wear shorts under their dresses or skirts.

*Please notify the school nurses and P.E. teacher if there are any physical or medical conditions that would limit your child's physical activity.
