Coach @GorillaGuzzler led a fun game of “Catapult” for Veterans Day. Defend your Country by knocking over other teams castles. A lot of core and running with “armorers” running to get armor to feed the “catapults.” @KAHPERD @SHAPE_America

4️⃣ Habits of Successful Learners Mural

When learning gets tough, the habits help us find strategies to keep moving forward.

3️⃣ National Standards Badges

#PhysEd is an academic subject with its own set of standards and outcomes.

These badges help educate my students (and school community) on the different standards we work towards in PE.

1️⃣ The Yeti Poster

My friend Larry McDonald taught me about the power of the word YET:

😟 I can't do this... YET! 😀
☹️ I don't know that... YET! 😎
😢 I don't understand... YET! 🥳

👹 That's why I encourage students to be YETi's in #physed!

2️⃣ The What/Why/How Graphics

My lessons start with answering 3 questions:

💡 What are we learning?
🎯 Why are we learning it?
🔍 How will we know we have learned it?

This introduces the content, provides meaning and sets learning targets.

Our students loved Snake Pit 🐍. In relay fashion students run one at a time from end to end, focusing on Cardiovascular Endurance. Students running when music stops are caught and go to snake pit for muscular strength activity. @KAHPERD @SHAPE_America @RoysterProud
