Great activity to promote Shape GLO S3.E3 Ss demonstrate fitness (strength) knowledge and skills. Ss must move 10 bean bags as a small group from one end to the other while holding themself off of the floor. Modify using different distances and number of bean bags/people.

Brought in a guest yoga instructor today and 4 other classes wanted to join in. Trying to give the students as much exposure to different fitness activities as I can to prepare them for lifelong health and wellness. Next up: Kickboxing!

When you’ve been riding the struggle bus with one of the hardest classes you have ever had... and also dealing with one of the toughest students you’ve ever had... and you make a break through... #thankyou #traumainformed #makingadifference

More mindfulness activities with my fitness class. Today we colored and listened to instrumental covers. They LOVED it. Some chose to just be present in the moment and relax- others asked for more coloring time. This may have been the most relaxing Friday the 13th ever.

Calling CrossFit kids affiliates... I am running a CrossFit class for primarily 6th-8th grade students. What equipment do you think would be most beneficial? I have kettlebells (light weight), sandbags, and pvc pipes... Suggestions please! #crossfit #crossfitkids

By far my favorite lesson during my fitness elective rotation. Mindfulness week! Yesterday I took them on a long walk, today we colored and listened to instrumental music, tomorrow we journal. Each day we end with 3-4 minutes of pure quiet and relaxing mindfulness.

Let’s be honest- I follow the The CrossFit Games season more than I follow my favorite teams in the NFL or MLB. Excited for Open 2020 and the new sanctionals! Thanks Rogue Fitness for making the first open showdown a perfect recap of the last season and pumping us up for 2020 games!

Classified CrossFit instructor Ryan Wheeler was a guest instructor for our first big class at CrossFit Yet! We had 90+ students sign up and 40 were chosen to participate! These students VOLUNTEERED to work out and LOVED it #crossfit #crossfitkids #physed #crossfityet CrossFit

My FAVORITE week of my elective class. Mindfulness. Today was journaling. I ask that each student attempt to journal or write a letter of gratitude to someone. Once they’re done they may relax and be present in the moment. #mindfulness #fitness #physed #gratitude #journaling

Just registered with Target for our baby boy! Then picked up our free goodie bag of samples. I loved it! Very impressed with the welcome bag! Highly recommend registering with Target! The only bummer was the entire book of savings was expired already 😞 Target #babyregistry

I’ll be on maternity leave when school starts. School district most likely running hybrid model (in class & online) and students can’t mix...aka I don’t think we’ll be able to bring kids to the gym or share any equipment. Looking 4 ideas on how to do PE! #physed #distancelearning

Board just voted 2 send us back 2 traditional school sched. In August W/ “health modifications” in place. About 2 be a new mom & never been so scared to go back 2 work in my life. Glad my maternity leave starts in Aug but terrified for my coworkers/students #backtoschool #covid19

Thank you OPEN Phys Ed for helping us prepare for any model our schools decide to go back to!! You were a huge resource when we went to distance learning in spring! Plan on using your resources again! #distancelearning #PEathome

A new mom to be any minute while also *hopefully* continuing to teach my students while at home for distance learning. Just gonna go right into SuperMom mode with the help of resources like this! Thank you OPEN Phys Ed
