@heymichaelsmith Was your camera on?

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@candypeguy @mrmasonhpe You just struck gold if @candypeguy send you a document of activities!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@HDPhysEd Same!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Consistently my favorite part of the school day has been chatting with students at dismissal. That ten minutes each day is paying off as much as anything I'm doing in #physed to help build positive relationships w/ my Ss.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

S waves hand furiously to ask question in #physed. I ask "does the question have to do with this activity we are starting?". S says "yes" and then attempts to tell the class a story about the white deer that their grandmother saw this morning...

@GlennYoung_PE I'm only twelve years in but I haven't created one yet...

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

I'm always amazed at how I can immediately spot the holes and weak spots while teaching a new #physed lesson. No matter how good it looks on paper there are always a few tweaks that need to be made.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@PEwMrT2 Encourage them to keep going!!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Every goose within a 1,000 mile radius has descended upon the grounds of my school for goose-a-palooza 2k22. You would not believe the amount of poop being tracked into my #physed class.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Hey hey CO #physed folks and @SHAPE_Colorado! I've got a new physed T from Buena Vista reaching out to me. What is the best way to get them plugged into your awesome organization and support system? Thanks!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Two jump ropes is six feet!?!? Any #physed T ever used a three foot jump rope in their class?

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

After being on backorder for months my rubber chickens finally came in. Time for some chicken taco tag in #physed

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@aquaholic_bee PE is an "unfunded mandate". So while mandated by law there is nothing there to truly enforce it.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Teaching #physed at a new school this year. School hasn't had PE in ten years. Asked my fourth grade to skip during our warmup. No one knew what that was. Not one S. I got some work to do!!!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@everettis1 Don't know that we will make it that far this year...

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@ThePEguy_ Thanks for the share!

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@Passion4PhysEd We will get there! Building a little bit. Day by day.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Just got these sweet postcards in with hello in all the languages my new Ss speak at home. I'm sending a few out every Wednesday to Ss that are crushing it in #physed

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

Update: emailed T and asked for clarification on their intent. "It wasn't punishment, it was just exercise" & "sorry that they misunderstood" in reference to my child thinking that the class was being punished. Blood pressure still up...

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

My child is in middle school and is in #physed. Daily they come home sharing horror stories. Today the class was punished for talking with running and doing push-ups. My blood pressure just went up ten points. I'm going to reach out to the T but I gotta wait a day or so.

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

@AlexZerbe Thanks! I'll play around with the rings for a bit and then reach out. I already bonked myself in the head with the clubs. Ha! Glad they are soft on the end...

[Brack Hassell @brack_hassell]

All knowing @AlexZerbe... I just bought some more juggling gear. Is it easier to start learning to juggle rings or clubs?
