Wow! @morgera10 put on a clinic for "Using Visual Resources and More in Every Adapted PE Program." It is easy to see why she is the @SHAPEMD 2024 APE TOY Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight.

@BHunterinBmore Had this happen a few weeks ago, crazy! There’s a first time for everything!

As an itinerant #AdaptedPE teacher you can find yourself in unusual situations. Such as arriving at a school that is closed! Nevertheless part of the job is getting the work done regardless of the situation. Def not the most unusual spot I’ve set up shop at!

@BHunterinBmore @SHAPEMaryland Love this!! So true!

Recently at the ⁦@SHAPEMaryland⁩ banquet the mantra I highlighted in my TOY speech, that I use with Ss was “You can do anything your peers do It just might look a little different.” Then my wife surprised me with these custom magnetic buttons! I wear one everyday since.

@TheCoachFuller @MossHavenPTA Where did you get the small "nets" between the cones?

Pickleball! Thanks to our amazing @mosshavenpta we have nets for 4 courts. Started with over the net serves, then took everything we learned last wk & put it into action! Players rotate 2-3 min on a court, 2-3 min of rest.#mhepe #risdmoves #risdweareone #physed #4ranches1family

DIY wheelchair attachment to participate in soccer activities with peers #AdaptedPE #Inclusion #PhysEd

@AndreaGCampoli The balance board was from 5 Below and just a couple of cones.

@morgera10 This is awesome. Can I ask where you got this?

Mini kicking ramp to help this student using a wheelchair increase his kicking power and distance! #PhysEd #adaptedPe

@letsmoveitpe @supportREALtchr It’s cones and a balance board

@morgera10 @supportREALtchr Awesome - what is the ramp ?

Inclusion & Teamwork go hand in hand during the Cross the River cooperation activity with the help of a hula hoop and scooter #physed #adaptedPE #inclusion

Great Team effort from the Baltimore Celtic 11G Crush today to get a 2-0 victory...Congrats to the Girls and Coaching Staff! #RepCeltic 🍀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This student with cerebral palsy is working on his upper body and grip strength by climbing under equipment with the help of connected scooters while using the Whittle climbing equipment. He loved participating in climbing like his peers! #physed #AdaptedPE #inclusion

Thanks @morgera10 for the idea! We modified Ss chair so he could participate today while classmates worked on #hockey stick handling in #physed #adaptedpe #elempe Was able to insert the cue tip sticks into 1” pipe and fasten to the base of his chair. Big Smiles

@FreedomHawksPE That’s so awesome! I love it!

Hey Maryland #physed and #adaptedpe teachers! Are you looking for something to do over winter break? Check out our best practices webinar! youtu.be/H1RtqHL5Q4I

@jsl1021 I used floor tape to secure the baseball bats and noodles. Extra noodles and a lummi stick helped to reinforce and contact the ball.

@morgera10 Would you be willing to send a pic so I can look closer at how you did this? It’s awesome!

With a bowling ramp, baseball bats, noodles, and some tape, this student is able to kick a soccer ball with the inside of his foot with greater force to send it to a partner or target. #PhysEd #adaptedPE #inclusion

@jsl1021 Of course!

@MsPhysEduDP Fixed it, try again

@morgera10 I can't send you a DM. . .🤔

@morgera10 I would LOVE to pick your brain on a few things!!!
