When
the teacher is speaking, you are listening not talking or whispering.
Listen for instructions the first time they are given.
Proper
use of equipment is enforced at all times ( ie. If you don't know how to
use the resistance bands to touch them unless the teacher says you can,
and teaches you how to use it properly)
Safety
is the key to physical education. Therefore, always be aware of your
surroundings.
Don't
talk out of turn, wait for your turn and then speak.
Raise
your hand if you have any questions, but only when I'm done giving
instructions.
Wait
until I say GO before beginning any activity because I ALWAYS have
something to say or add. Always have something positive to say or don't
say anything at all
Absolutely,
NO CELL PHONES, IPODS, MP3 or electronic equipment. It happens every year,
someone loses theirs and they are devastated but there is NOTHING we could do about it.
