@CoachPirillo There’s none better for prek physed than @LovePrimaryPE! Learned a lot from her. In my own experience, it’s repetition, (same start, same finish), using imaginative play and exploration/storytelling in every lesson in some way.

PreK might just be growing on me a little. Slowly figuring things out with them in terms of a routine. Once I got it all figured out I’ll be golden! Any advice #physed fam❓ Start with some locomotor then a dance. Sprinkle a fitness vid and then it’s a stretch.

Let’s do this! Time to start prepping for a new school year and OPEN has new #physed resources to help you get ready for the BEST YEAR EVER! All grades have been updated! Look for the Back to School section at open.varsityuniversity.org! #peteacher

Hey #physed peeps, I have a question. What are your favorite outdoor lessons/units that ARE NOT traditional sports. Things like orienteering and fishing. Any level. Please and thank you!

Over the last 20 years, there has been a push in youth sports to spend any and all available practice time on developing specific sport skills at the expense of developing all-around athleticism. You would think that, with all this specialized practice in one sport, we would be seeing a generation of superstars. In fact, it’s just the opposite: Injury and burnout rates are at an all-time high. I have seen young athletes as young as 8-9 years old competing at a regional and national level for their perspective sports, and yet they cant do basic things like : 1. Balance on one leg 2. Complete an honest pushup 3. Never learned to fall correctly. Amazingly these skills don't require special training. Proper general movement training can go a long way toward helping improve overall athleticism. Movement sessions for children should be fun, engaging, challenging, and most importantly, semi-organized. Between school and sports, children spend their entire day in an organized setting being constantly told what to do. A good training program will let young athletes develop their own style of movement to be able to solve movement problems in their own unique way. Children develop this movement sense by practicing, exploring movement, and trying things out. #LTAD Thanksgiving sale on youth athletic development material. DM for details.

@TheCoachFuller Love this! High success rate for a difficult skill. Are the visuals available for sharing?

🏈Football Throw 🎲Dice Bonk! Working on throwing form & accuracy. Playing against the team across from u. If u knock the dice off you pick the exercise & the other team does that exercise the # of times the dice landed on.#mhepe #risdmoves #risdweareone #physed #4ranches1family

@ElemPE1 @MegaeraR @MA_PETeacher @MrRoosPE @HDPhysEd @MrBiehlsPE @CoachGelardi @SHAPE_America @CoachPenrod4 @JoeyFeith @supportREALtchr @BarbaraBorden9 @thepespecialist Couldn’t agree more! IM is truly a game changer. The time taken in using this teaching strategy always comes back to Ss and Ts ten fold. Powerful, student centered and brain friendly. Here’s a resource from @responsiveclass that outlines the exact steps. responsiveclassroom.org/what-interacti…

TIP #11: INTERACTIVE MODELING #ICIH Practicing transitions & reflecting on them can help maximize time. Interested in learning more? Come to our #SHAPEseattle session with @MegaeraR & @MA_PETeacher! #physed

@MrAndersonPhyEd Activities that reflect the developmental considerations of students at the end of the school year. Ex: 5th graders who now enjoy more competitive team games than they would have in September. Add in S choice which will foster S engagement! #yardsticks

What activity or game can your students not get enough of? As I start planning for next year, I’m thinking about some bread and butter activities that I want to use between units or at the end of the year. I’d love to find some new ones! #ElemPE #PhysEd #FirstYearTeacher

@erik_myer @SBSDIF Thank you!

@responsivePE @SBSDIF Have a great day!
