🕘 One of the challenges I've been having fun grappling with as I get back into teaching #physed is learning how to design effective 30-minute lessons.
⚛️ Check out today's Atomic Essay to see what I've learned so far when it comes to planning short, effective lessons:
🚨📢 IMPORTANT #RRAKA PRE-SEASON ANNOUNCEMENTS📢🚨
The 2023 season Sign-Up poster is hanging outside the gym. Sign-up deadline is Friday, March 31st. Only for grades 7️⃣ and 8️⃣ (if we don’t have enough sign-ups, we’ll open it up to grade 6️⃣ next week).

#RRAKA action this week:
🔴 2:30 game will see the Illuminating Vultures against the Thundering Eagles
🔴 3:20 game has the Surfing Narwhals against the High-Flying Yellowjackets in a BATTLE OF THE UNDEFEATEDS
It’s looking to be a hot & sunny Friday afternoon of kickball! 😎 💦
Staff vs. student 🏀 teams yesterday. What a great afternoon full of laughter. Thank you to all of the staff who came out to play and watch. Yes we won again but the kids played hard! @TheHiveInCC @TownofBrookline @LinusGuilloryJr
What an amazing team effort!! It was so fun to drum w/ our incredible Wellness Team and @heathhawkspe ❤️ the cross school collaboration! Can't wait to see what you all have planned for our 6-8 crew tomorrow. See you then @MrNewmanPhysEd@JenNixonPE Ms. Grogan, and Mr. Sennott!
Finished this 3000-piece monster today! How many characters can YOU name?
(This puzzle sure would have been difficult to finish if I had been missing...oh, I don't know...360 or so essential pieces? @heathhawkspe )
Started my day off by joining KC for a Zoom session to teach them about our (virtual) Cardio Drumming unit, and was greeted with almost 20 of these signs! Feeling this kind of love and seeing these amazing kids is what makes this job so special. Get ready to drum @TheHiveInCC!
@MsMcNallyPE Thank you so much for your support! We are fighting hard to reverse these decisions so that ALL our educators can be brought back #WellnessIsEssential#ALLEducatorsAreEssential
This is heart breaking & it’s happening all over Brookline! Amazing teachers who helped me so much in my first PE position getting pink slipped 💔 The students of Brookline deserve better than this!
Just got off a 2 hour Zoom call with my 3 other PE teachers @TheHiveInCC#nodaysoff@MrNewmanPhysEd said in our meeting today how thankful and lucky we are that the 4 of us are working so well together and willing to try anything to reach ALL of our students. I love this TEAM!
If you're attending this morning's #MAHPERD19 keynote, you'll notice that I'll quickly share TON of resources.
🔗 Don't worry if you don't catch all of them! I'll be adding tweets to this thread throughout the day that will include links to everything I mention!👇
See you soon!
