Back to school and trying to get back into Twitter. At Merrill Middle, we’ve implemented a Sport Education model and we’re off to a great start. Some awesome team names including, “Team Team”, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner” and a class favorite….“The Karen Busters”

Been a long time since my last tweet. In that time, big changes...Moved from Laos to Denver, USA and changed from teaching primary PE to Middle School PE. Been online all this time, now just starting back in person. Time to get active on Twitter again, will share more soon.

Human Frogger (on land). 1 frog tries to cross room protected by guards. Any player hit by a ball returns to beginning and starts again. 4 players (1 frog + 3 guards) = 4 balls. #vislao #ibpyp #physed
