Mr. Becker's Mission
Mr. Becker wants all children to enjoy physical education.  Each day he tries to plan activities that are fun and promote action.  His goal is to have all of his students moving and having a great time.  If each child leaves his class feeling good about themselves and having pink cheeks and sweaty foreheads, his lesson has been successful.
