So many pictures to sort through but here are some of my favorites. We had two parents who are semi-professional photographers share over 1,500 pictures.

Make an adjustable basketball hula hoop accommodation for students who may need it in your PE class by using a long jump rope, hula hoop, and 1” spring clamps! #adaptedpe #physed
Thank you for the invitation to join in the conversation! I always find myself learning new things from @Gr8FulLearner & @WillWestphal!
It was nice to see all the @IAHPERD peeps as well!
Looking forward to December!
Great chat tonight on Meaningful PE led by @WillWestphal @Gr8FulLearner @mchamberlainPE Great turnout and even better dialogue with @IAHPERD members from all over the state. Thank you to everyone who joined us and thank you again to Will, Kristi and Mike for your time. #Physed
“Impossible Shot” and “Pipeline” meet the “Impossible Pass”
Can you group (2-5 Ss) pass the ping pong ball from one end of the gym to the other without it hitting the ground?

Looking forward to joining the @MNDAPE conference tomorrow to present two sessions at 8:30 and 9:30 am!
Thanks for invite! Excited to connect, learn and share alongside many incredible educators & innovators!
“Flip Your Fuel”
Ss choose a meal, flip a 🔺, balance a beanbag around a tall🔺, then collect a matching block
Repeat until the meal is complete
Begin again

Some might say it got a little weird today but the gym was filled w/joy, laughter & challenge
We leveled up on movement challenges w/Ps. S1 decided 5 levels to travel🔺to🔺. S2 mirrored the challenge
After the 5th Level, Ss switched roles

4 years later, the engagement still hits the roof!

“Mastermind” - shared by many including @PESchoolYT. We had a rain day, so we are continuing our Team Building inside.
A mastermind is picked. They set the code. Codebreakers take turns making one change until the code is cracked. The mastermind stands up a pin if correct.
Another round sent out.
Positive emails can go a long way in building trust & strengthening the relationship between 🏫 & families. It lets Ss know we see the good they’re doing, not just the things they need to work on.
Happy Friday!

“Oops, You’re It!” w/1-5
Ss practice passing/catching while reacting, making decisions, navigating space, & interacting w/others.
The unpredictability keeps them engaged & creates opportunities to think, move, & respond.
#elempe #physed @ISD196schools @DiamondPath196
“Cat & Mouse” w/3-5
Like spin the pin by @MikeMorrisPE, this is played in short bursts while working on passing, 🏀 handling, chasing/fleeing/dodging skills
The 🐈⬛ passes the 🧀(🏀) & chases 🐁 before finishing 2 laps

Today in PE, Ss became zookeepers
Completing movement challenges & collecting a critter to build their own zoo
Filled w/Joy, Laughter, Purpose, Teamwork, Choice, Challenge, Inclusion, Problem-solving & Engagement

Another year of using Pathways w/@GopherSport NowNets as a tool for helping Ss explore levels, directions & speeds.

Here’s my evolution of “Pathway 🗺️s”
A var. from Dribble 🗺️s by @pe4everykid
I started w/dribble 🗺️s w/obstacles. Now today, K-2 Ss have a visual & GIF to help learn over, under & around while traveling through the gym.
Ss earn $20 for each completed 🗺️
#elempe #physed
3rd through 5th grade
Here’s how I’ve adapted it to increase engagement and utilize other learning tools (⚽️🏒🏀).

Let’s go!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳
Excited for @EVHSLightning as an alum and as a parent to 4 future Lightning students!
Pumped for each of the 3 other high schools as they will be getting a similar activity center!
#196pride #district196
Continuing to shift from sport-ed
This yr - 10 themes built around pillars of movement similar to @WillWestphal’s Structures of Play.
Goal: learning that helps Ss become confident, capable movers.
Still a work in progress, so I welcome any feedback.
