We love our Nutrition unit at RCS. We combine w/ our music teacher to drum syllables of healthy foods for vocab reinforcement (we love to march in a designated “marching circle”), and also make food choices that correlate w/ unique beats for each student! 🌽🥁 #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

Time for football, and we always start w/ catching. 🏈 We use our felt aprons that stick to velcro-covered inflated footballs, and suspend them from a carabiner (reduces necessary tracking), then shoot them out of our pitching machine- adaptations galore! ✨✨ #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

A fun way to make balance more accessible for Ss in chairs is to give the option of balancing items ON themselves. We did a balance relay where you could choose either one. We also like to see who can balance the most beanbags in a stack- so fun and silly! 🤸 #fcpePE #adaptedPE

✨✨✨…as a follow-up to my previous post- 34 weeks and going strong! Teaching for almost a full school year while pregnant is no joke LOL. Baby boy due first week in August. 🫶🏻

Back from maternity leave and just started soccer. We got a new giant inflated ball, and adapting our kicking ramp to support it was a challenge. The support staff helped me figure out we could attach a pool noodle and an upside down basket- yay teamwork! ⚽️ #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

🍎🥦 nutrition is one of my favorite units to teach- you can incorporate so many PE skills and be really creative. I love using this resource book I made, to reinforce the importance of each food group- the cards can even be incorporated into different games. #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

I love blending one unit into the next- as tennis is ending and movement/gymnastics concepts is beginning, we have been doing balance relays where we balance beanbags on lollipop paddles. So fun and an inclusive way to work on balance w students in chairs. 🎾 #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

A horizontal fan (propped up on cones for air circulation) is one of our favorite things to help us work on tracking/reaching and catching- we love using scarves, balloons, and even adding implements (lacrosse sticks) to use for different units! 🥍🏈 #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

I’ve been really quiet on this account the past year, during and after my second pregnancy (that jump from one to two kids is no joke). I’m still finding balance in this new phase of life, but most importantly my beautiful boys are healthy and happy and loved.✨🫶🏻🫶🏻

Basketball is one of our favorite units- love our pitching machine and all of our adaptations for hoops and basketballs. Attached is my continuum of how I teach/assess shooting- I’ll be presenting more of my skill diagrams at #SHAPEbaltimore next week! 🏀SHAPE America #adaptedPE
