@DeetsQuest @KUEdwardsCampus @gsgators This is awesome!

H &H took part in a research study program at @KUEdwardsCampus this summer & learned how our brain talks to our muscles. Today Mr. Kiefer Bass shared with my QUEST Crew about exercise science & #GatorGrit. What an AMAZING opportunity for @gsgators to #OPSMakeTodayCount ❤️🐊❤️

@bunsenbernerbmd Praying for Bunsen

Hi all. So not the best news. What presented as bloat turned out to not be bloat. It had all the symptoms of bloat but as the vet team went through different diagnostic tests, each test came back negative. The ultrasound presented a fluid filled something in Bunsen’s abdomen - it was so large the initial X-ray mistook it for his stomach - and a false positive for bloat. The main vet surgeon who has worked in emergency for decades spoke to us personally and said (to paraphrase) It most likely isn’t an obstruction as the ultrasound of his stomach showed little fluid and his intestines showed no backed up fluid. They have no idea what the fluid sac is, and it isn’t presenting as cancer on ultrasound. In fact, in their words, it's extraordinary. So, our choices were exploratory surgery to find out what it is, or saying goodbye to Bunsen as whatever this thing is has gotten big enough that it’s killing him - pressing on his internal organs and shutting them down. So Bunsen is having surgery tomorrow. The surgical main vet wanted his best team fresh and at work to tackle it so they will keep him stable and make sure everything is ready as he is priority one tomorrow. If the unknown thing is something that can be removed, fixed, etc, they will do so. If not, sadly the suggestion is, well, this would be the end. Bunsen has always been one of a kind, I guess it’s ironic that he has a one of a kind thing. Our family is going in to see him tonight, and we will let everyone know tomorrow what happens. We see your comments and kind words - thank you so very very much.

@rochellewentz @Edwinivich Why? Fear of litigation.

💯. Least restrictive environment OUGHT to mean least restrictive for ALL students. If the behavior causes multiple disruptions/evacuations it is WRONG to put the education of all other students at risk due to lost instructional time, fear for basic safety, etc. Why don’t administrators/districts fight for the kids?

Taught 30 years. Had MANY challenging students. Never expected every kid to be a hyper-compliant, perfect angel But.. “Disregulated” students who are REPEATEDLY violent MUST be removed from the conventional classroom setting Even if it’s a “manifestation of their disability.”

@eheard Congratulations!!!

Yesterday I was awarded with my school's Elementary Teacher of the Year award! I was nominated by other staff members. It was awesome to share the moment with my family who showed up to surprise me. It feels so great to be valued and supported by the best school/admin! #physed

I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my @Columbia undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)

@chelseaewebb @OlatheElemPE Great job, Chelsea!

By far my most favorite year in PE yet! Did a lot of new games/sports/activities and strayed from my comfort zone, but that means my students did too 💕 a lot we still didn’t get to but I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish together! @OlatheElemPE

@MLCoachKeely Awesome! She sure looks like her mama!

@CoachGore_PE This is fantastic!

Field Day station map is complete! #PhysEd #FieldDay

@LovePhyEd I’ve been using this video for a couple of years! It’s so impactful at explaining the why of CPR!

Shout out to my student teacher Hugh Gundersen who found this fantastic video demonstrating the why behind the 100-120 bpm rat for CPR compressions: youtu.be/DUaxt8OlT3o?si… #physed

@CoachFoe @foes4sports @SHAPE_America Congratulations Becky! You deserve it!

So proud of @foes4sports on receiving the @SHAPE_America’s Joy of Effort Award!! #SHAPECleveland

@rltcperkins That’s so cool!

Ty got to view the SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage booster in Littleton, CO. It is huge!

@HDPhysEd These are great! Thanks for sharing!

Creating GIFS for #PhysEd is fun! Bounce-Catch Quest gifs for anyone who may find them useful... bit.ly/Bounce-Catch-Q…

@stuewe33 @KAHPERD @OlatheElemPE I need to try this! Looks fun!

Body Bowling. Students push partners to try and get a strike. Fun warm-up. ⁦@KAHPERD⁩ ⁦@OlatheElemPE⁩

@chelseaewebb @spudwebb0619 How awesome! Tell Max I said “Hi”!

We wish you a beachy Christmas ☀️🎄❤️ @spudwebb0619

@ElemPE1 I couldn’t agree more! I use them daily! Thanks for sharing so many great resources!

Proof that GIFs help ALL students: My teaching takes a major hit when we're outside (too bright to use projector). Pictures/cues help, but nothing like Ss actually seeing skills in action, repeated. If you teach inside & don't currently use a projector, I HIGHLY recommend it!👇

@Simone_Biles The kind you run away from screaming!

what kind of snake is this 😭

@KUAthletics @gradey_dick Now you have even more of my respect, @gradey_dick !!!

One of One.

@Ballin25Braun CB, it has been so awesome to watch you play in the NBA finals! #KUProud!

My brother🥲

@Merrlll_PE I love this staton! How did the water blasters hold up throughout the day? How many did you buy? I’m worried about them breaking.

One of our best #FieldDay stations was called Water Blasters! Teams used the water blaster to be the first to knock all the cones off their teams ladder! Highly suggest trying it, the kids loved it! #physed #WeAreWS
