Welcome to Mrs. Acosta's Class
Parents & Students,
Hello and Welcome back!
I hope you had a refreshing summer and are ready for an exciting year. A little about me, I have taught Physical Education, Health and Drivers Education here at Amundsen for the past 20 years. After graduating from Northeastern Il. University, I started here at Amundsen and have been here ever since. During my years here, I coached a variety of sports such as volleyball, softball, swim, and badminton. I love to be outdoors, so the beach, the park, baseball games, camping, bike riding, and volleyball are all some of my favorite things to do.
IB MYP PE II Classes
As part of the sophomore curriculum, quarters 1, 3 & 4 of the school year, we will participate in daily physical activity. We believe that the quality of students’ physical fitness and health is an important factor in their readiness to learn. We will engage in fitness & teambuilding as well as a variety of sports such as volleyball, ultimate frisbee and soccer. In Quarter 2, Amundsen offers a ten week drivers education program in the classroom. We will learn Illinois laws, responsible behavior behind the wheel and both the physical and mental skills needed to operate a moving vehicle safely in our city.
PE III Classes
Physical education focuses on health-related fitness and developing the skills and habits necessary for a lifetime of activity. We will focus on improving cardiovascular endurance, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility. Students will engage in a wide range of activities such as fitness, health related topics and various sports throughout the year which will empower them to be well-rounded individuals.
Amundsen is a great place to be and I am so glad to be your teacher this 2023-24 school year!
