Parents,
Hello! I am Jeffrey Brooks, physical education
teacher. Welcome back to Imagine Andrew Elementary school, home of the Eagles. I am very excited in welcoming your son
and/or daughter back for an exciting and safe year to be a part of my Physical
Education class!
I look forward to a great year and to
helping all of my students grow! If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me by e-mail at Jeffrey.brooks@pgcps.org or by phone through the school
at 301-350-6002.
A key element that contributes to student success and well-being is safety. While in PE class, students need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Clothing should be conducive to movement. My recommendation is for students to wear athletic shoes, however, if your child does not have athletic shoes, it is important that the shoes your child wears has laces or Velcro style straps. It is also important that shoes have a back that goes over their heels and rubber soles are important. If you are not sure, please feel free to contact me and ask. I am happy to answer any questions that you might have.

A day of PE consist of
warm ups, a game or other activity, and working on Learning Goals. I have
listed some Learning Goals that we will be learning or building on in PE classes.
