Welcome to 2019-20

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! My name is Coach Wil Edmondson and I am the Physical Education teacher for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade here, at Archway Lincoln. Here is a little bio about myself:

I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. After attending public primary and secondary schooling, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Shortly afterward, I married my middle school sweetheart and we moved across the country to Chandler, AZ. She is pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in Theater. Meanwhile, I am entering my third year at Archway Lincoln. Prior to teaching PE, I was a teaching assistant in fourth grade and second grade. In addition to teaching at Archway Lincoln, I continue to coach extracurricular volleyball, soccer, and tennis for Lincoln Preparatory. I am an Accredited Interscholastic Coach through the NFHS as well as CPR and First Aid certified. A few of my hobbies are soccer, board games, hiking, and playing with my golden doodle puppy.

I am incredibly excited looking forward to this next school year. In PE class, scholar-athletes will participate in activities and routines aimed at improving their fitness and coordination. They will also be introduced to vocabulary related to basic human anatomy, and explore what it is to participate in healthy competitive play.

In partnership,

Coach Wil Edmondson

Castle Dodgeball

     We are into the final full week of the 2018-2019 school year. To celebrate another school year done, we will be exploring the high energy game of Castle Dodgeball. This variation of the crowd favorite involves upright mats acting as walls to offer protection. To my 2nd graders, I will miss you as you move into 3rd-5th PE! I hope everyone had a wonderful year of games and activities. I'll see you next year!

Have a wonderful week!

Mr. Edmondson

Polo

     For the next two weeks, we are diving into giant ball polo. Scholars are stretching their quads & hamstrings, warming up with jogging, and playing small games of bocce ball. Then we are learning and playing an inflatable ball version of polo. Perseverance is our focus for this game.

Have a wonderful week!

Mr. Edmondson

Bocce Ball

     Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. For those who didn't know, I was sick with the flu for most of the past week. Thankfully, I am recovered and ready to get back to play! This week, we are exploring a classic backyard ball game called Bocce Ball. In addition, each class will dedicate time to stretching their arms and playing cardio games like tag.

Have a wonderful week!
