Since our pod is full of band kids and music lovers, we thought we’d take a trip to see @YaleSecondary ‘s performance of Moana Jr. Thank you for an excellent show- we loved it!

Closed out a great month w/our pod with our draw for our Kindness Challenge today. Loved encouraging them to be others-focused this month. Kudos to my amazing partner @MissJanePatter1 for heading this up- you’re a joy to teach with! @clayburnmiddle
Today my fantastic teaching partner lead our pod through a nature-based activity in PE, based on First Peoples Principles of Learning. If I had had more PHE teachers like @MissJanePatter1 , I think I would have loved PE more growing up. More on nature based PHE 👇🏼@clayburnmiddle
Nature-based physical activities are those physical activities that are done in natural areas, require little specialized equipment, deemphasize competition, are cost-efficient, and can be implemented by teachers on a regular basis (Gruno & Gibbons, 2020, 2021, 2022).
