Soooo... #physed community, are we still on X or has anyone made the move to Threads or somewhere else? Let me know!
Cosmic bowling is always a blast, on day 3 day or my rotation of classes, getting pretty quick at setting up and taking down.
Doing stations with kinder today, last year it took a full class for the kinder class to understand how to do stations, this group is doing them flawlessly. It's amazing how different kinder groups can be each year.
Exit tickets in PE?? So far this year I’ve really like using exit tickets for some of the social emotional standards. 4th/5th is working on reflecting on individual performance (4.5.5)
The helium hoop challenge was hilarious to watch today. As a group the goal is to bring the hoop from shoulders to knees, the secret is to only focus on yourself because if you focus on what others do you end up going up instead of down.
Goal toss early on in our teamwork/cooperation unit. We had a great chance to discuss working together, encouraging others and then how our individual actions affect others #physed
This week we have been learning how to identify physical activities we prefer and why we prefer these activities through recess games.
Using random dots opened up a great convo about how we don’t know why some others choose activities, but can include all and treat with kindness
Just typed in “kid friend rules for four square” into ChatGPT and just saved myself so much time trying to simplify… if you’re not using AI yet for your lesson planning I HIGHLY suggest you try it out.
I got the chance recently to share some strategies I use with other pe teachers in dps and one of the things that came up was my warm-up, the first 5.
Most gave me a look of that sounds insane, but with clear expectations the students are doing great with it!
Things I’m excited about in my gym! Using squad lines for the job board, my entire “cougar den”/water space, my front white board, and *choice* exercise zones #physed
Alright... I'll bite, I caved and bought the @SHAPEAmerica standards book and these basically write the CLO's themselves, the language we are expected to use in DPS is written into the progressions.
I've always felt weird about the numbered voice levels we expect of kids, so I'm trying out something new using real world examples #physed
Came back early to set some things up to find out an after school program used the closet over the summer and there is pe equipment scattered around the building or left outside to be destroyed and I get to go on a scavenger hunt for 🙃
Looks like I just found a lead up game for pickleball, thank you #TheOcho
