Climbing makes our muscles stronger. Making the right choice when it’s not the easy choice or the fun choice makes our character stronger. K-2 students @BSpencerSchool @MacdSchool worked hard making good choices- sharing, taking turns, being safe @mps_HPE #SEL #PhysEd #Wellness

Maker space in the gym @BSpencerSchool Ss worked cooperatively and creatively on their golf putting skills and their relationship skills by building their own miniature golf course #SEL in #PhysEd

#SEL in #PhysEd @BSpencerSchool K-2 Ss practiced locomotor movements then decided on a green spot or a red spot, depending on whether a behavior that was called out was kind (go) or unkind (stop). Then we practiced being intentionally kind in a variety of activity stations

Collecting & sorting behaviors into kind/unkind columns #SEL @MacdSchool then focusing w/ intention on kind behavior while playing @PhysEdDepot superheroes fitness quest. Then we returned to our kind/unkind columns to reflect on which behaviors happened in the game & their impact

#SEL in #PhysEd @BSpencerSchool @mps_HPE Ss in grades 3-5 raced to sort behaviors into kind/unkind columns then played @PhysEdDepot superheroes fitness quest. Finally we evaluated the impact of our kind/unkind behaviors on the game

A Summer Challenge---find 30 minutes each day to be truly active. This will not only improve your physical health, but will greatly positively impact your social and emotional health. Let's make it a goal that next year MHS Schools finish #1 in the state on our fitness testing!

In the blink of an eye, these former sixth-graders became graduated adults. I remember them on their first day @KeigwinMPS and will forever remember them in this moment. I’m so proud of all they have accomplished! Congratulations to the TLC class of 2019! #mpsct @DocConner13
