@MrsJClarkPE @sayre_pto @SLCSSayre Just curious: What do your "stop" signs say?🤔Can you add a close up picture of those? Are those to limit the height to which students vertically climb/similar to the keep your feet below the red line type rule?

Today, my Kindergarten class "lined up" (to leave PE) a little differently than usual -- We wanted to make a special birthday message for their teacher to see when she arrived to pick them up from the gym! Any guesses as to how old their teacher is now? 🤔🧐 🥳

@MissDahmPE @BCSDBEES What are your rules for "Galaxy Ball"/how does that game work?🤔

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

Combining classes & getting sweaty w/Mrs. Haas (@easleymusic) has been a blast this week! Through various dance activities, our students in Grades K-5 are exploring connections between Music & Physical Education; emphasis on terms "form," "beat," and "cardiovascular endurance."

I love to see younger students' wheels churning when they first learn to skip -- for some, it is a very challenging skill to learn & master! Practicing skipping at home (or at recess!) is worthwhile... as is "practicing" reading! #learningtomove #movingtolearn

[ActionBased Learning @Kidsfit_ABL]

Research has shown that reading readiness/ability goes hand-in-hand with a child being able to skip. Reading involves many cross mid-line activities, such as tracking words from left to right with their fingers and return sweeping (from right back to left again) to the next line.

"Over/Under Baseball" - We use a free bat from @USABaseball plus: a cone, gator ball, step aerobics block (base) & deck ring. Batter hits ball, runs back & forth to the base while fielders gather ball & complete "over/under." Get batter out by placing ball in deck ring! #funatbat

Stock Car Racing is the "State Sport" of North Carolina. This week, 4th Graders tested out their own speed, flexibility, & endurance as "drivers," "spotters," & members of the "pit crew." Can't wait to see the research & written products they are wrapping up w/@EasleyYr! #physed

[EasleyYRMedia @EasleyYr]

Collaboration across specials is fun for all! To connect with the 4th grade curriculum of symbols of North Carolina, PE and Media came together this week. In Media 4th grade students researched stock car tracks and in PE they acted out a race. #EasleyReads

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

DPS Elementary PE teachers enjoyed hearing the #FunAtBat presentation from @USABaseball yesterday afternoon. Thank You, @USABDevelops for creating a program that focuses on literacy, character traits, and baseball/softball skills!

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

Today is National Walk to School Day. Since not all of our students can safely walk to school, Easley is celebrating with special morning announcements, class discussions about safe/active routes to school, and class walks during recess and PE!

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

@ThePEShed @easleyartstars Maybe we could have some little Eagles make some of these sometime in Art... and then use them in PE -- joint activity???🤔

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

Easley "celebrated" National Bike & Roll to School Day today w/special morning annoucements, class discussions, opportunities to take class walks during recess... and even some "rolling" activities on PE scooters! Thanks for the pencils & stickers, @BikeDurham! #DPSCelebrates #PE

What a fun 2 weeks of jump roping at Easley! Grades K-5 have worked hard to master jumping a self-turned rope. Congratulations to ALL of our students who earned their various Jump Rope Ninja "Belts" - but a special shoutout to Kindergartener, Tianna, our very first Black Belt!🥋

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

This week, our students are Jump Rope Ninjas...strengthening their hearts & calves while working towards illustrious "Black Belts" in PE! (We practice first & then open up for optional "testing.") Fun to see students master jump roping for the first time ever! #healthyhearts #pe

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

It's another great day for 9 holes of "Caterpillar Golf!" Using lollipop paddles & gator skin balls, students work in small cooperative teams to complete holes on the golf course. Successful completion of 1 hole on golf course = 1 poly spot earned for caterpillar's body! #elempe

[Andrews PE @AndrewsPhysEd]

Congrats to our 3rd Quarter "Golden Shoe Award" winners (and a big THANK YOU for remembering to wear safe, appropriate tennis shoes on your class' PE days)! Hard to believe that 75% of our school year is complete... Enjoy your Spring Break, Eagles!
