Walking into Union Ridge school in Chicago I saw this wall. Now this is what I’m talking about!

“You have your thing… Be the kid who does the right thing. Be the nice kid.”

Facts!

I received three unexpected handwritten notes recently.

Handwritten notes are underrated. We should write more of them.

If students aren’t getting enough physical education, movement, & recess, don’t blame them when they get restless, fidgety, & can’t focus in class. Children are active by nature & need to move. Exercise enhances focus, self regulation and brain performance.

Administrators, be in the classrooms early and often this fall looking for the awesome things teachers are doing to brag on!

Building relationships doesn't just help with behavior in the classroom, but students also work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

After 16 years, I decided to hang up my shorts and gym shoes and accepted an elem. AP position. The value of P.E. is instilled in me and always will be.

TY to:@pe4everykid @thepespecialist @JoeyFeith @foes4sports @TheJediGym

I was a better educator because of you all. #PhysEd

Why do children need recess, unstructured play, physical education and more physical activity in classroom?
Increases:
Social skills
Focus
Self regulation of emotions
Overall health
Academic Achievement

Decreases:
Anxiety
Stress
Off task behavior

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

We can’t expect teachers to work 60-70 hrs per week or more, but then tell them to self care. Maybe leaving is their self care? Let's focus on taking care of teachers in the 2022-2023 school year!
