Integrating literacy into ๐Ÿ serving. If the serve is caught, you get to collect the letter you are standing on. Some spots were blank, for those you could pick your own letter. Ss had 2 minutes at the end to create as many words with the letters they collected. #PhysEd

Got this inspiration from Jo Bailey and #shapeseattle. Created some paddle and fitness options for our 6th grade students. Complete a challenge and earn some money! #PhysEd

22 Skadoo! Learned this at #SHAPESeattle and finally got to implement it. Students need 22 handshakes/claps to get rescued. It was a fan favorite! #PhysEd

Students worked on team building this week using Breakout EDU boxes. Our detectives had to complete a team challenge in order to get their clue which once solved unlocked a lock. #PhysEd

Literacy take on make it, take it. Catch the ball on a poly spot & write down the hidden letter. 3 minutes at the end of class to use those letters to create as many words as possible. #Physed #crosscurricular
