@nearpod@calm I teach because I love having a positive influence on my students and want to give them all the opportunity to succeed. I also want every child to know that they are loved. ๐
@MrManniPE @PeBrado @PEgeekscorner I do live work outs for my middle schoolers and they love it. I have a 90% participation rate with cameras on. I personally enjoy exercising so doing this for my students doesnโt bother me.
Does anyone have ideas for a virtual red ribbon week? We will be hybrid but I am trying to throw together some activities that we can do. Would love to start a thread. #asb#virtuallearning#RedRibbonWeek
I believe I have the best job (Elementary PE Teacher) in the world. Who else can show up to work and 500+ people are happy to see them?! This year has a lot of uncertainties, but learning with and conversing with students is always amazing. #physed
Check out our P.E. Movement Library @juliebotkin and I created. In here you'll find Books in Action that will engage your students in creative movement combined with literacy. #D59Learns#HPEatHome#PhysEd#CrossCurricular https://t.co/LNjhgN2lkP
I got these from @chandrand531 TPT and they are awesome encouragement for positive behavior in my 1st grade zoom classes. Students love being recognized at the end of class. #pbis#physed#virtuallearning#HPEatHome
My students are loving these fun conversation starters during attendance. Iโve noticed an increase in participation through the entire class since starting these. โบ๏ธ
@coachnateb @PhysEdFreak Right... I just believe your attitude affects everything you do and how you do things. Itโs much more productive to have a positive attitude and I believe you can do that while being realistic & having discussions. Being negative is much more toxic, in my opinion.
Iโve been seeing some posts about โtoxic positivityโ regarding teaching during this time. I donโt believe there is a such thing. I would like for my students to stay positive and encouraged during this time, so I believe in modeling that. Thoughts?
@Mr_C_PE @coachnateb Absolutely, I agree with that. You canโt be a good educator without taking care of yourself first. So I believe caring for yourself first is in the best interest of your students. I just donโt think โtoxic positivityโ is the right term. Attitude is everything in my opinion.
@coachnateb I guess my issue is the term used. I think that issues can be addressed and discussed while maintaining a positive attitude about what you can control as the educator. I just donโt think positivity should be described as โtoxic.โ
Check out this missing letter workout that my elementary students did this week to help reinforce their spelling words. This lesson was for 1st & 2nd grade. #hpeathome#physed#crosscurricular#virtuallearning
Hereโs another resource that I made for my middle school students. I offered it as extra credit this weekend. It can also be found in my google drive folder. #HPEatHome#physed#physicaleducation
