@PerkettPE This is awesome! I would love a pdf copy. melissa.beninger@smusd.org

🚨Jump Rope Connect-4🚨 Students roll a dice and perform that number of jumps with a rope. If successful, they can mark a circle on the board. 4 in a row wins! For upper level grades you can also use addition or multiplication! #PhysEd #elempe #espechat #PEgeeks #ndpechat

@SchleiderJustin That’s awesome. 😎

@mkbeninger That's what the podcast will talk about

Anyone want to talk about weight and teaching #physed and #healthed ? Talking about teacher's weights not ss.

@tbromiller and I just had this conversation earlier today!! Love having so many parents in our virtual #physed classes. 😎

@tbromiller @drovers05

@ClearlyCrystal @MikeMorrisPE Love this! I'm definitely going to add it in to my week 1 activities!

@MrBabb_PE @PhysEdApps Such a great point. I was that kid too, def wouldn’t have wanted to show my house. Also, I’m in an apartment & some of my Ss in upstairs units here have trouble participating because of the neighbors below them. There’s also the space issue.. I try to be very flexible w/my kids😎

Ok #physEd, I need to ask... how are you grading in remote learning? Struggling with my “normal” with lots of questions on attendance, cameras on, videotaping completed. What are you thinking?

@CoachPirillo I used flipgrid alot last year, but PE was optional so I only had about 80 students actually submitting videos. Want to use it this year too, but worried about keeping up with 800 kids submitting videos!

@BigTennPhysEd @PhysEdApps @Microsoft Dan can you have them use flipgrid to record and submit? Thinking of doing this for when some are F2F and others are still at home.

@jmettler2 That sounds awesome! I do lots of conflict resolution and emotional regulation with my kiddos too - would love to see how you’re doing this with your kids. 😎

@PhysEdApps This year students are creating their own personal emotional regulation plan with explanations of techniques and matching emotions. They will also be creating an instructional video on how to do three self defense moves and teach 2 conflict resolution concepts. I will email you

@Fusion_PhysEd Thanks Brian! I will definitely check it out! 😎

@mkbeninger We’ve always used Student Laptracker for running club & they set up an At Home app that Ss & I really liked at the end of the year. They just tweeted out some new added features to the At Home app 👍

What's up #physed & #pegeeks fam?! Anyone have success with a virtual running club or biking club?? I am wanting to create both this year at my elementary school and I'm looking for tips!

@coachpvg @supportREALtchr Yes, I would love to do a virtual 5k too. I have been looking at lots of them, I have way too many ideas in my head 😂😂

@mkbeninger @supportREALtchr I’ve also been thinking about this. Take a look at some of the virtual races for some ideas.

@drovers05 Awesome Julie! Keep me posted! I’ve got a few ideas but hoping to hear more tips on tracking data, keeping people feeling connected, etc.

@mkbeninger I have my aides working on this! We have used steide track for 4 years. I know there is an app for the program. Trying to figure out a way 👍

@Fusion_PhysEd @JessZimm99 @MrCondranPE @projectphysed @MsSmith_EDU @GoOneMorePhysED Love it!

@Ptmscoach @PhysEdApps @sd_sof @KateCoxPE @GHSaysRockChalk @MrPhysicalEd @Mr_C_PE @coachsandsmark A few people in SD @coachsandsmark (MS) @CoachBrandCDM (ES) @mkbeninger (ES) ... I know I am missing a few more, I can't remember their handles 🤦‍♀️

Does anyone have the list of great PE teachers to follow for @Sd_sof? He just finished his student teaching with me and is jumping into the positive PE world of twitter. I know @PhysEdApps @KateCoxPE @smsandino @GHSaysRockChalk @MrPhysicalEd @Mr_C_PE @coachsandsmark are elite!

@tbromiller This is amazing!! Im@definitely@going to use it and create some more taco themed activities. 🤩 🌮 🔥

@mkbeninger Have you seen this? Such a great idea and totally up your alley!

Press Release: The importance of personal health & physical wellness has been reinforced by the events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. During this time the positive contributions of quality #physed & #healthed are more important than ever for students. @GavinNewsom #retweet
