π Friday Thoughts: In 6th grade, 94% of schools require PE. By 12th grade, it's 56%.
When PE becomes a choice, it has to be one students want to make. π―

π΄ Workout Wednesday: Spin
Got bikes in the fitness center that students just pedal on aimlessly? π€
Turn them into a full spin class. Students ride to the beat πΆ, and each new song brings a new challenge: hills, sprints, intervals. A simple 1-10 effort scale means every student sets the resistance thatβs right for them.
β Any stationary bike works
β Set to music
β Every rider, every level
Check out a beginner spin class π https://t.co/XcWGts7cts
On a Mission Monday π
Shout out to Alyssa Dalton at Corner Canyon High School, who is on a mission! See how she helps students feel seen, understand the βwhy,β and own their progress. π
The SNL sketch where the entire earthquake coverage is derailed because every single person trapped in the collapsed Social Security building was there to legally change their name.
Donald McRonald trying to become a Johnson, Mark Peanus, Holden Tudiks (who went alone because he thought his parents would be mad), A. Hitler βhailed as a hero,β Dr. Donna Diddadog, Julia N who insists her last name is pronounced like βcigar,β and the anchor is just Carol Kumdungeon the whole time.
The absolute best part is Kate McKinnonβs anchor getting called out for every single earthquake pun and just calmly going βYes.β No defense, no apology, pure shamelessness. And Pete Davidson as the firefighter completely loses it in the background at Holden Tudiks like he wasnβt even supposed to be in the sketch.
This is the kind of stupid that only works because everyone committed so hard to playing it completely straight.
