Greetings! I am Miss Lensch and have been teaching PE in OPS for twelve years. I have been at Standing Bear for nearly seven years now. I love kids and teaching them games! “Exercise in Disguise” is a great way to get young people active in this digital, sedentary world we live in! I try to teach a variety of fun games, skills and activities in my classes. Students also learn important life lessons such as responsibility, cooperation with others, community involvement, teamwork and sportsmanship. I have a “shoe race” with my 3^rd and 4^th graders, awarding the classes who most consistently bring appropriate gym shoes. At Standing Bear, students have an opportunity to participate in the “Kids Heart Challenge”, a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. I award “PE Student of the Month” certificates to 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th graders who demonstrate some of the above qualities in PE class. You are welcome to come and observe my class any time! I hope your child’s PE “take-aways” will be healthy habits, fun new games, new friends and positive life-long memories!
