K-2 Physical Education Syllabus 2015-2016
August 24, 2015
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the beginning of our 2015-2016 school year! I am so excited to introduce myself,
Mr. Scheinoha, as the Physical Education Teacher. I graduated from Concordia University-St Paul in 2015
with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical and Health Education. This will be my first year in the teaching
world, and my first year at LoveWorks. Prior to teaching I served four years in the United States Marine
Corps. I have also been a personal trainer for almost five years, and a speed/strength coach for one
year. I hope to expand on our curriculum this year and really build our program to a new level! I am
beyond excited to start my career at LoveWorks, but even more than that, I wish that each and every
one of my students will grow to a new level this year!
Sincerely,
Mr. Scheinoha
