@ThePEUmbrella Mine are in teams in a grid system using colors and numbers, I even match equipment color with team color. We switch spots 2 or 3 times a yr.

You're delivering a PE lesson in primary school. You need to get the children into teams of say 4/5. What's your go to method that works quickly, efficiently and keeps the flow of the lesson? #edutwitter #physed #primarype

@JennyTeachesPE Thanks for moderating, you did awesome!

A8) mine ask daily for a mindful moment! Last minute of class. Just relax, recover, refocus, and reflect! #iahperdchat

A7) we spend time in the beginning of the year talking about high emotions and have a calming corner if they need it #iahperdchat
