I told you a little about myself today. Please answer the following questions about yourself so I can get to know you better:
- Where did you vacation to this past summer?
- What is your favorite activities/events to attend around the New Holland community (i.e. Garden Spot HS Football, Garden Spot Wrestling, Yoder’s Buffet & Restaurant, etc…)
- What sports or hobbies are you an active participant in now (This does not have to be just PE activities. I like chasing my son around my house and playing tag as one of my hobbies)?
- Why do you think it is important to be physically active?
I went to the beach. My favorite activity is the Garden Spot Middle School Soccer. Because my sister plays the Garden Spot Middle School Soccer. And I like to watch her play. My hobbies that I am in are Horseback riding and Gymnastics. It is important to be physically active because it is good for me and my body.
Amber,
I am glad to hear that you are a supportive and caring sibling to your older sister. That is amazing that you have the coordination and balance to ride a horse. I would be so scared to go horseback riding which makes your hobby that much more admirable.
Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself. I look forward to watching you grow and develop as a young learner at New Holland.
Thanks,

Thanks for leaving me the nice comment. You are the best physical education teacher!
1. This summer I went to Myrtle Beach and I also went to summer camp.
2. I like watching Friday Night Football games at the Middle School and High School with my sister that is in Middle School.
3. I like to ride my bike all around the neighborhood.
4. It is very important to be physically active because you don’t want to get over weight. Then you will not be able to do any activities. Also being active can help you heart stay healthy.
Natalija,
Many students at New Holland have told me that it is such a blast to watch Spartan football at the Garden Spot High School Stadium.
Riding your bike around the hills and valleys of the New Holland area is a challenging yet fun activity. I agree with you that staying physically active promotes the human heart to function more effectively for positive long-term health.
Thank you for taking the time to share your personal interest and hobbies on my blog. Feel free to view some of the other links and pages with information that will help you succeed as a student in my class.

I went to the beach and when I was there I went to the bored walk. I also went to a Taylor Swift concert. I also went to Hersey Park. I am a dancer at Signature Dance Studio. To stay healthy.
Grace,
Based on your post, you seem to be an avid traveler outside of the New Holland area. I hope you enjoyed your time with your friends and family on your travels to Hershey Park amusement park & Taylor Swift music concert.
I can imagine it takes an immense amount of focus, time, and energy to be a superior dancer. You should be proud of your accomplishments as a dancer as well as a hard working, New Holland student.
Thank you for taking time to providing me with a glimpse into your life.
Sincerely,

I went to the beach this summer. Things I like to do in the community are go to the New Holland Fair and the parade. I like to play outside and draw. Exercise helps me from getting sick.
Eloise,
As you mentioned your enjoyment to vacation at the beach, I also enjoy bringing my wife and nineteen month old son to the beach. The sand in between your toes and the cool summer breeze through your hair is cleansing for the human mind and body.
Exercise is an excellent way to prevent acquiring common colds. During exercise, the body emits water from underneath our multiple layers of skin to the pores on the outside of our skin. This method of “skin respiration” aids in regulating body temperature during various forms of exercise ( i.e. cardiovascular, muscular strength, & muscular endurance).
Thank you for practicing accountability and responsibility by completing your P.E. assignment. It is a privilege to have you as one of my students’ at New Holland.

1. i went to ocean city Maryland this summer
2. i like wrestling and football
3. i like to do wrestling football basketball and lacrosse
4. so you can look and feel better
grant thats really cool
Grant,
I heard that Ocean City, MD has a boardwalk that is just good at Wildwood, NJ’s boardwalk. On family vacations as a child, I vividly recall visiting the Wildwood Crest beaches. Wildwood Crest coastlines are long and wide for lots of people to spread to catch some sun rays.
Just like you, I wrestled from kindergarten to ninth grade in the Pennsbury School District. The Garden Spot Wrestling program is well-known to produce wrestlers that demonstrate excellence both on the mat and in the classroom.
Thank you for telling me a little about yourself as a student at New Holland.

Evan,
I noticed this past Friday that Garden Spot H.S. football team had a 10:00 am game against Warwick H.S. at the Garden Spot HS football stadium. The crowd’s roar could be heard all the way to New Holland Elementary School (haha, jk).
You shared that you also like to play foootball. Do you play football for a league in the New Holland area? What is your favorite position?
Throughout this school year in P.E. class, we can have a deeper exploration of the meaning of what means to stay healthy. Thank you for taking the time to complete this assignment.

Mkaila,
What is the “end of the year” celebration? This event sounds like a ton of fun.
Based on what you shared, you sound like a well accomplished dance student. I bet it takes a lot of time and concentration to learn new dance moves & choreograph the moves into a dance routine. This past summer, I watched my sister perform at her dance recital. Her complex moves and the duration of time dancing looked very challenging, but fun from the eyes of a spectator.
Thank you Mkaila for sharing a bit about yourself. I am excited to see you continue to grow as a great student at New Holland.

2. Icecream Social, Rec center.
3. Horseriding,Soon Cello, Playing with my dog&bunny, playing with friends.
4. Because it is Healthy,Good For Your Heart, You could become overweight, And it’s fun!
Alyssa,
HersheyPark is a fun filled place of tasty funnel cakes, death defying roller coaster rides, and many other family fun adventures. What beach do you vacation to in the summer? What are your favorite things to do when you are at the beach?
Exercise is an excellent way to lower one’s blood pressure. With all of the stress from stacks of schoolwork and difficult tests, exercise promotes the body, mind, and, as you said, heart to work at a premium level.
Great job sharing your responses to the four questions for this assignment. Have a nice weekend! 🙂

1. Fishing.
2. My active event in new Holland is going to a pizza hut.
3.My favorite hobby is baseball cause I like to participate and I don’t let my team down.
4. I like to be active cause I like to sweat.
Good Afternoon Caiden,
That is amazing you know how to fish. Have you ever had the chance to go deep sea fishing? When I was in fifth grade, I went on a vacation with my family to Florida to see Disney World. One of the days on our family vacation my dad took my brother and I on a deep sea fishing excursion. The majestic blue ocean water and the huge flounder that I caught were without a doubt highlights to this special fishing trip.
Based on what you shared about your post pertaining to baseball, you have provided some insight to your personality as a supportive and care teammate. I am excited to see those strong character traits demonstrated during team & cooperative learning activities in P.E. class.
Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself.

1. I went camping at my house and did campfires
i went to Delaware zoo, i had a lot of cookouts,i also went shopping and swam a lot.
2.i like the New Holland pool, and the New Holland fair, and lastly the New Holland barbecue
3. i’m active with dancing,gymnastics, and cheer-leading.
4. i think its important to be physically active because it can help your body and make you nice and healthy. That’s all about me!
I Have Vacationed at the mountains a lot this summer, the only thing that i don’t like about going to the mountains is that it is a 4-5 hour drive. I also went to the YMCA a
lot this summer witch leads to the next topic we go swimming a lot at the Ymca and that is one of my favorite places. And one of my hobbies is definitely cooking i started when i was 7 helping out my grandma witch i live with she is a really awesome cook and 2 years of practice with her i can can make 7 different meals, and lots of desserts. and i love my hobby, and i plan to make a living with that.
It is important to be physically active, because to be fit is a big part of your life, and another thing is it is a good way to keep yourself healthy. And that’s my opinion of why you should be physically active.
Good Afternoon Alexis,
I am glad to hear that you are a successful swimmer. I teach swimming for the Wilson School District Learn-to-Swim program. Swimming is an awesome exercise and a lot of fun too.
You also shared that you have had many amazing family cooking experiences with your Grandmother. If you would ever like to bring in some fresh desserts, I would love to be your dessert tester (haha, just kidding).
Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself.

1. This summer i went to a camp called woodcrest.
2. I went to the local New Holland Pool.
3. play tag outside and swim
4. it is inportant to get up and exiercise eat lots of veggies and drink LOTS of water
Good Evening Reyahnna,
The camp you went to this past summer, Woodcrest, I am sure gave you many opportunities to participate in team games and meet new people. When I was in fifth grade, my mother sent my brother and I to Camp Neumann for an entire week. Many of the kids at camp the first few days were sad and homesick. My brother and I loved every moment of camp from the lunches together by each camp group, the walking trail trips, and swimming in the deep end of the swimming pool.
Keep drinking lots of water and stay away from the soda. Thank you Reyahnna for sharing a little bit about yourself.

1. Not too long ago I went to CapeMay in NewJersey. When we were there we went to the beach, went to the pool, got the famous Tommy’s HotDogs, and went shopping.
2.My favorite things I like to do in NewHolland are
doing Garden Spot Girls Lacrosse in the spring, going to Rec Center which is The Y now, going to the NewHolland fair every year and parade, and I love going to Yoder’s.
3.My hobby is collecting Minecraft things and playing Minecraft.
4. I think being active is imprtant because you can lose alot and you can be healthy.
Good Afternoon Kyleigh,
Tommy Hot Dogs sounds like an awesome place to get a fresh, tasty hot dog. What kind of toppings did you get on top of your hot dog? I like all the above (chili, fried onions, spicy mustard, relish, ketchup, horseradish, sauerkraut, avocados, etc…). I know some of my toppings sounds kind of gross, but each topping complement each other on the hot dog.
The YMCA sounds like a fantastic place to stay active and hang out with family & friends. I will definitely have to stop in and see what the New Holland YMCA has to offer.
Great job Kyleigh answering each question in such a conversational manner.

Good Evening Nicholas,
Spartan football is a huge, proud piece to the Eastern Lancaster County School District community. I am delighted to hear that more and more of our students are active participants in various athletic programs throughout the district.
When you visited New York, did you go anywhere exciting?
Thank you in advance for showing how responsible you are as a student at New Holland Elementary School.

Angelina,
I have never been to Outdoor World. When you have the opportunity, I would love to hear more about Outdoor World. There is a Cabela’s store closer to where I reside in the Berks County area. For visitors, Cabela’s has a small aquarium, faux African Zoo exhibit, and many fascinating hunting accessories for visitors.
As the H.P.E. Teacher at New Holland, I will create a learning environment that is both challenging and rewarding for each student. I am ecstatic to see your future successes as a student at New Holland.

#1 this summer I went to New Hampshire. we went to a water park called Whales Tales Water Park. We stayed in a little cabin. We did lots of other things to. My favorite thing of all that we did is we went to the longest candy aisle. We got lots of candy. YUM!
#2 My favorite place to attend is Christmas on Main. It is so fun going around into the little shops and winning little prizes. We also usually go to the hot chocolate bar.
#3 I like to jump on the trampoline with my dad. I also do piano lessons. Both of those things are so fun.
#4 It is important to be physically active because then you will stay healthy and not get sick.
Aubrey,
Sounds like you had plenty of sweets and trips this past summer. When my son gets a bit older, I would definitely entertain the thought to take an exciting road trip to the longest candy aisle.
Thank you also for sharing Christmas on Main. I am not sure if Christmas on Main is in New Holland, but I am sure you can share more interesting tidbits when we meet again in class.
Thank you again for sharing your fun summer on my blog.
