Health and Physical Education is not gym. The gymnasium is one of the many locations where H&PE can happen and sports are one of the many activities that can be included in H&PE. We need to remember that learning in H&PE can look & work differently depending on the student.

Students may be taught online this fall, but they still need recess, unstructured play, and daily physical activity. I hope schools and teachers are encouraging it.

Finland's school day is ~ 5hours, with an hour of recess included. Wouldn't it be great if we moved more to that model, especially with all the recommendations/ limitations placed on the classroom this fall. Students should NOT sit in a classroom for 7+ hours.

These little guys had great left shoulder rolls but not so great from the right. We know from a safety/movement recovery standpoint we want be competent on both sides. The bag helped facilitate the learning process. Then added more difficulty. Then we put the moves into practice.

A CHILD'S SUMMER ASSIGNMENT FOR SUCCESS: Be a child. Have fun, go outside, be bored, run around until you're exhausted, goof off, draw stuff, build Legos, get muddy, scrape your knees, read lots of paper books, and think nothing of screens or school.

As a fellow Phys. Ed. Teacher I totally agree with this and promote this in my school community.

[Grant McManes @GMcManes]

This is a polite request to all @WinnipegNews reporters to stop referring to #PhysicalEducation as ‘gym class’. Gym is the location. #PhysicalEducation is a core subject in Manitoba schools K-12 @PHE_Manitoba @PHECanada
