🥵 Many parents think that physical education is just a place to get kids sweaty. 🧭 In reality, P.E. is meant to help kids get the most out of life. 👇 Read today's Atomic Essay to learn how #physed achieves this and why every parent needs to fight for quality P.E. programs.

This color coordinated set up makes me happy! Also creates a fun and exciting environment for the students to get excited to learn 👍🏽 #physed #elementaryphysed

Any BAY AREA PE teachers attending #SHAPEseattle next week? My first time attending & I’m attending alone so would love a chance to connect with a few other Bay Area teachers 🌉👍🏾

These mats from Gopher have been great for fitness testing this year. How’s fitness testing going for you? #physed #elementarype #pegeeks

Oh good morning #SHAPEseattle 🌅 Taking the steps to the 5th floor is no joke! Getting my heart rate up 💗💪🏽

Mahalo 🤙🏽 Hawaii family! My favorite presentation of the day. Can’t wait to introduce these Hawaiian games with my students #SHAPEseattle #elementarype #iteachpe

Favorite football game! Hula hoop touchdown 🏈 Students are in teams working on throwing & catching. It’s a TD when the receiver catches the football & both feet are inside the hula hoop #physed #elementaryphysed

I’m a general ed PE teacher but was fully inspired by Kasia Givenrod Sadie Brown Jen Heebink Katie Smith presentation at #Shapeseattle 🙏🏽♥️ We’re currently in basketball & I DIY’d a basketball hoop for one of my Ss. It’s all about #inclusion

A class favorite: Clean the garage 🏒 Students practice stick handling & control when choosing an item they get from the garage (middle area) They work together with their team to get as many items back to their hula hoop #physed #pegeeks #iteachpe

Beach day! Always love a good spirit day 🏝️⛱️☀️ #peteacher #physed #spiritday

If you haven’t color coordinated your equipment you should! Makes clean up so much easier, faster, & the kids love it👍🏽 #physed #iteachpe #pegeeks #elementarype

Using this next week! 👍🏽🎉

I’m at 4 different schools so I won’t be there on the 1st day of school at all of them so left a little note at each school to welcome my students back 😃

Working on rolling & saw this game on FB & modified it for one of my students #adaptedpe Cones at the end were labeled as different points & made the ramp out of a pool noodle 👍🏽 #physed

🌪Twister Tag🌪 for warm-ups with 4th to make our hearts stronger. ♥️💪🏼 1 V 1 tag game around spinning hoop. Love using the hula hoop as a timer! ⏱ 🏃‍♂️ Thank you Mr. Staup for this fun game 🔥🙌🏻 #PhysEd

4th playing Touchdowns! Thx ⁦ThePhysicalEducator.com⁩ for the idea! Catch frisbee in hoop? Take an item and switch roles. How many items can you accumulate and how many different hoops can you catch the frisbee in? Good for catching, throwing and differentiation. #elempe #physed

We’re practicing throwing & catching with footballs this unit & made this modification for one of my students. Little receivers they can pass to (knockdown) #adaptedpe
