This is always one of our favorite school events! The @AnaheimDucks are such an amazing partner and support our students tremendously. Thanks for highlighting this event @SportsCentralLA

Winning a replica @StanleyCup is where it's at! That's what these youngsters were vying for today at the @AnaheimDucks S.C.O.R.E. Shootout at @HondaCenter

@pewithmrc @physedreview @CoachGelardi @foes4sports @LynnHefele @MrHamiltonPE @CoachPirillo They even stayed in for my cart wheel video. It was an amateur endeavor on so many ways (sound, video, editing), but fun to learn and have my students see me. Here’s the sample if you want to check it out. Thanks for all you do for our PE community! https://t.co/tLrS4B4O85

@JoeMcCarthy09 @Timberwolves @MNSHAPE @SHAPEiowa @NDSHAPE @WHPEOffice @kelleywollak So if I love the Timberwolves but live in California now I can’t get my students on board? The Ducks have our best local program, but I’m always rooting for everything Minnesota sports!! 💙💚💙

@EdTechAri Classic Tattoo is an awesome shop in downtown Fullerton. They’ve been doing quality work for a long time.

Amazing assembly from @AnaheimDucks @Ducks_SCORE at @RichmanFSD! So happy hosting one of my favorite people in hockey talking about the history of goalie masks and sharing her story. I can’t wait to look at the stories Ss tell designing their helmets! #FSDlearns

What a great idea!

@geraldm516 @SaraWoodPE @thepespecialist @MrSpringPE @project_physed I also do bubble timer where they try to run around once, then twice, and back to their spot while the bubble is still up.

[Mike Shaffer @Shaffer_Mike]

@geraldm516 @SaraWoodPE @thepespecialist @MrSpringPE @project_physed I like the counting. We start sitting down with 30-50 k-2 students. I also say a lot of goofy words that aren’t go to get them to listen and work together for our patterns. Bubbles (bringing down quickly) and clubhouses (bringing down and sitting inside) are some favorites.

@physedreview @ForestLakesPE @donntobin @MikeMorrisPE I have some really old ones. This is the best lead I’ve ever gotten! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼

[Mike Shaffer @Shaffer_Mike]

@ForestLakesPE @donntobin @MikeMorrisPE Haha mine are 10+ years old. That makes them such a unicorn to find! Thanks for the help!

There should be fairies that give PE teachers one of these on their first day!!

[Mrs L Walker PE @MrsLWalkerPE1]

Best invention in the PE world…

@PhysEdApps Google drive, docs, forms etc. The value of Twitter for a PLN. I have presentations for new PE teachers or active classrooms I can share.

[Mike Shaffer @Shaffer_Mike]

@Mr_C_PE I’ve started telling people I would GLADLY go a week longer to have 5 extra days off throughout the year. A week break after every 6 weeks in class sounds amazing!!

[Mike Shaffer @Shaffer_Mike]

@coachnateb Hardly ever. Many pro athletes walk away to be involved in their sport in other ways and many amateurs find ways to keep playing recreationally for joy and to face challenges.

[Mike Shaffer @Shaffer_Mike]

I loving meeting the challenge being the way to think about winning. This is so much more applicable to the benefit of physical endeavors such as rock climbing, practice, physical training, and the mini challenges that make up a game.

[Nate Babcock @coachnateb]

Another way to think of winning:

It is the meeting of a challenge.

Now, when it comes to games, sport (competition), the greatest & biggest challenge of all is to enjoy the process.

So winning, then, is meeting the challenge of enjoying the process.

@pe_toolkit Student behavior isn’t a personal attack on you. Kids are kids and learning how to behave. Their behavior says a lot more about how much they need an adult to care about them than that they have any ill will toward you. Get to know them and catch them doing good and celebrate it!
