P.E.The Physical Education department would like to thank the entire Wallin community for the continued encouragement and support. We are very fortunate to be working in such an incredible place. Our goal in P.E. is to provide health related fitness and movement experiences to all. Students that move better and enjoy movement more (everything from sports to dance to going to and from class) are more successful in life. They are more mentally alert, and concentrate better in academics. And finally, fit students are more likely to become and remain fit adults, which means extended good health and quality of life. Along the way we provide life skills such as sportsmanship, problem solving, team work and cooperation. We ask that the students follow directions, be a good sport, try their best and most importantly to have fun. The Physical Education experience will continue to include lunch recess tournaments which are optional to grades 3 through 5. So far we have played No Mans Land (a frissbee throwing game) and Polo Sockey (combination of hockey and soccer). Upcoming tournaments will include Speed Stacking with cups and Tennis Baseball. Hopefully we are helping to prepare all students with healthier, happier lives. Exercisingly yours, Coach Stevenson and Mrs. Tripp |
ARTMy name is Mrs. Poniewaz and I have nearly twenty years of experience in teaching art in schools and museums between Clark County Nevada and Indian River County in Florida. I have an MA from New York University and a BA from Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. I had the privilege of studying art in Venice Italy for two summers. I love traveling to visit museums and galleries and art history sites in the US and abroad. Nothing is more inspiring than watching kids of all ages discover their ability to be creative! Behold the magic of the elementary art classroom, I am a big fan of kid’s artwork.Children have an inherent ability for art appreciation and art history in a way that will spark a lifelong love of art. At Wallin Elementay school the students have art every six school days for fifty minutes. My students have art production experiences in media such as drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and more. I believe that art education is an integral part of a fostering a student’s complete education. Students also learn about a diverse variety of artists, artist’s styles and art history that span thousands of years. I look forward to fostering your child’s love art. Artistically Yours, Holly Piniewaz |
