Mr. Blake Garnand
Adams School Teacher
5th Grade Math, Science & Physical Education

My name is Blake Garnand and I teach Mathematics, Physical Education and Science at Adams School. Below I have provided a brief introduction about the classes I teach at Adams School. My qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education, and teaching credentials in PE and Elementary Education. This is my eighth year teaching at Adams School. I have also worked as a Health and Fitness director and Youth Sports director before attaining my credentials. During My years at Adams I have also enjoyed coaching Flag Football, Basketball, and Track.

Mathematics
This class will use a blend of practicing skills and exploring concepts to gain understanding of the California State Content Standards. Daily activities include problem of the day, math fact practice, daily review, chapter introduction, chapter practice, and special projects. Our goal is to use a variety of methods to learn the concepts in our Harcourt Math books at a rate of a chapter a week. This book has been designed to meet the California State Content Standards. The Math class is 90 minutes a day. Students will have homework Monday - Thursday. The Homework is intended to reinforce a lesson taught that day in class.

 

Physical Education
The program will include teaching your child the components of exercise and nutrition, how to exercise, develop easy dances and basic gymnastics routines, sports skills, fun games, cooperation, and sportsmanship. Adams' students will be attending two-week units in P.E. followed by two weeks of Science. This schedule will continue to rotate throughout the school year. During the two weeks of P.E. students should remember to wear proper shoes and flexible clothes. While students are attending Science they will be encouraged to exercise and stay active at home and during lunch break at school to maintain their fitness.
