ONE WEEK until #SHAPEPA! I’m presenting: Coffee Talk: Will students VALUE, REMEMBER & USE it? Unexpected Wins CORE Health Ready to learn, connect & share at Spooky Nook, Nov. 12–13! Who’s joining us? #PhysEd #HealthEd

Small cups. BIG possibilities! Our first Sport Stacking lesson: 6 stations, just-right challenges, and opportunities to help a partner succeed. Control, cooperation, and personal progress with @SpeedStacksInc! #KnightsInMotion #PhysEd

🎲 The die chooses the move. Students choose their option and pace. Color Quest, adapted from @OPENPhysEd, helps grades 3–5 explore fitness, practice safe form, notice effort & adjust their challenge. Knights in Motion: Move with purpose. #PhysEd #ElementaryPE #KnightsinMotion

When dancing enters your skateboarding lesson. 🛹💃🔥 @F1rstPush #skateboarding #PE #elementarype #meaningfulpe

Small putts. BIG celebrations! ⛳🙌 Canadochly’s first @FirstTee lesson: aim, putt, notice, adjust! Students rotated as Players, Caddies & Coaches—practicing control, safe turns & encouragement. Building skills. Celebrating progress. #ElementaryPE #PhysEd #golf #firsttee

Boards ready. Helmets lined up. Confidence loading! 🛹🔥 Get on Board Lesson 1: safety, balance, control & cheering on a teammate. Our Knights will choose their next challenge! Thanks, @F1rstPush @SkaterTrain #Skateboarding #MeaningfulPE #PE #PhysicalEducation

Big prep. Big payoff! 😅⛳🛹 Next up in Knights in Motion: Skateboarding with @F1rstPush and golf with @FirstTee. Safe progressions, new challenges, and more ways for students to find joy in movement. #ElementaryPE #MeaningfulPE #PE #Skateboarding #Golf

2 sessions + a Coffee Talk. See you there 👋

Teamwork with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Movement exploration with Zoo Keepers. K–2 mission: move with control, choose clear pathways & make space for others. Reflection: “How did you share space?” #PhysEd #KnightsInMotion #MeaningfulPE #HPE

UNO cards + purposeful questions = Lesson 5: UNO Fitness Grades 3–5 connect movement to fitness benefits and explain changes in heartbeat & breathing. Visual cues support independence; student explanations reveal understanding. #PhysEd

The humidity finally dropped…and our Learning Wall finally decided to stay on the wall. 😄 ✅ What we learn ✅ How PE should feel ✅ Our vision & class code ✅ Current skill focus ✅ Academic vocabulary #MeaningfulPE #PhysEd #KnightsInMotion

⚖️ Grades 3–5 put balance, control & teamwork into action with BALANCE IT! Students progressed from individual to group shapes using: READY → BASES → BUILD → HOLD → DOWN Build safely. Adjust with purpose. Explain what worked. #KnightsInMotion #MeaningfulPE

Grades 3–5 PE: Weight Transfer & Basic Rolls Students explored animal movements, practiced rolls at their own readiness level, then built movement sequences: Move → Roll → Balance Control. Body awareness. Safe spacing. Choice. Building better movers, one sequence at a time.

🐟 Go Fish…but make it PE. Our K–2 “schools of fish” moved, searched the pond, found matches & took turns while teammates kept swimming + encouraging. No winners. No elimination. Just movement, listening, sharing & belonging. Rethink HPE. Move with purpose. #ElementaryPE

🏆 What if winning wasn’t the point? 6 Minute-to-Win-It challenges. 2 attempts. 1 goal: Get better together. Plan. Communicate. Encourage. Adjust. Try again. The scores private. The teamwork evidence. Scores reset. Team Player habits travel. #PhysEd #MeaningfulPE #RethinkHPE

HPE IS HAVING A MOMENT. New standards. Meaningful PE catching fire. Skills-Based Health becoming reality. A renewed focus on learning students can actually use beyond our classrooms and gyms. Year 29. I’ve never been more excited. Be Brave. Be Bold. Be You. #HPE #MeaningfulPE

Powerful episode about inclusivity, advocacy, choice & voice. Plus Lucy is a ROCKSTAR🤘

Collaboration doesn’t stop at the state line. Grateful to connect with @BHunterinBmore to talk about strengthening PE for students in Autistic Support. Brad truly represents what it means to be a National TOY @SHAPE_PA 🤝 @shapemaryland #PhysEd #AdaptedPE #InclusivePE teapawt.net/ces_physed1/status/209…
