So many pictures to sort through but here are some of my favorites. We had two parents who are semi-professional photographers share over 1,500 pictures.

A little bit of everything fall in PE this week! Halloween, the full moon, Dia de los Muertos, daylight saving time, and even pumpkins found their way into our activities this week.

Make an adjustable basketball hula hoop accommodation for students who may need it in your PE class by using a long jump rope, hula hoop, and 1” spring clamps! #adaptedpe #physed
Thank you for the invitation to join in the conversation! I always find myself learning new things from @Gr8FulLearner & @WillWestphal!
It was nice to see all the @IAHPERD peeps as well!
Looking forward to December!

“Impossible Shot” and “Pipeline” meet the “Impossible Pass”
Can you group (2-5 Ss) pass the ping pong ball from one end of the gym to the other without it hitting the ground?

Looking forward to joining the @MNDAPE conference tomorrow to present two sessions at 8:30 and 9:30 am!
Thanks for invite! Excited to connect, learn and share alongside many incredible educators & innovators!
“Flip Your Fuel”
Ss choose a meal, flip a 🔺, balance a beanbag around a tall🔺, then collect a matching block
Repeat until the meal is complete
Begin again

Some might say it got a little weird today but the gym was filled w/joy, laughter & challenge
We leveled up on movement challenges w/Ps. S1 decided 5 levels to travel🔺to🔺. S2 mirrored the challenge
After the 5th Level, Ss switched roles

4 years later, the engagement still hits the roof!

“Mastermind” - shared by many including @PESchoolYT. We had a rain day, so we are continuing our Team Building inside.
A mastermind is picked. They set the code. Codebreakers take turns making one change until the code is cracked. The mastermind stands up a pin if correct.
Another round sent out.
Positive emails can go a long way in building trust & strengthening the relationship between 🏫 & families. It lets Ss know we see the good they’re doing, not just the things they need to work on.
Happy Friday!

“Oops, You’re It!” w/1-5
Ss practice passing/catching while reacting, making decisions, navigating space, & interacting w/others.
The unpredictability keeps them engaged & creates opportunities to think, move, & respond.
#elempe #physed @ISD196schools @DiamondPath196
“Cat & Mouse” w/3-5
Like spin the pin by @MikeMorrisPE, this is played in short bursts while working on passing, 🏀 handling, chasing/fleeing/dodging skills
The 🐈⬛ passes the 🧀(🏀) & chases 🐁 before finishing 2 laps

Today in PE, Ss became zookeepers
Completing movement challenges & collecting a critter to build their own zoo
Filled w/Joy, Laughter, Purpose, Teamwork, Choice, Challenge, Inclusion, Problem-solving & Engagement

Another year of using Pathways w/@GopherSport NowNets as a tool for helping Ss explore levels, directions & speeds.

Here’s my evolution of “Pathway 🗺️s”
A var. from Dribble 🗺️s by @pe4everykid
I started w/dribble 🗺️s w/obstacles. Now today, K-2 Ss have a visual & GIF to help learn over, under & around while traveling through the gym.
Ss earn $20 for each completed 🗺️
#elempe #physed
3rd through 5th grade
Here’s how I’ve adapted it to increase engagement and utilize other learning tools (⚽️🏒🏀).

Let’s go!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳
Excited for @EVHSLightning as an alum and as a parent to 4 future Lightning students!
Pumped for each of the 3 other high schools as they will be getting a similar activity center!
