One of our best #FieldDay stations was called Water Blasters! Teams used the water blaster to be the first to knock all the cones off their teams ladder! Highly suggest trying it, the kids loved it! #physed #WeAreWS

So many positive conversations can be had with our students around this topic. This is a great visual to share with our students as well!

🍕 PIZZA DELIVERY 🍕 Students work together to deliver their pizzas (poly spots) to the house (hula hoops). One of my favorite activities for building teamwork, communication, and a positive classroom community at the start of the school year!

Play Toaster Tag! A fun freeze tag game where if you get tagged, you become a toaster with another player that got tagged, some one free comes to save you and be the bread in the toaster. Pop the toast! You’re free! Have fun! #physed

We did a little Pipeline Transfer amongst our staff today during Inservice week as a way to “break-in” our brand NEW gym! First time leading an activity like this with our staff and it was well received! I hope to do more in the future! #physed

Well friends, my time here on X is over. I still cannot get into my original hacked account, and I keep getting the same automated response from them. If I'm going to rebuild, I want to do it on a platform where I can regain my account if this happens again.

Hey #physed world! I'm thinking of possibly leading some team building activities with our teaching staff for back to school inservice in the fall. I know some of you have led things like this with your staff. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for those ideas! I think my goal will be to have a quick mix of activities like an icebreaker, something they can use in their classroom and then some type of team building activity. Hoping to get admin to offer a "prize" to increase the competitiveness a bit 😉

Had our annual spring #AdaptedPE field trip to Miracle Field to play some ⚾️ . This is always such a positive experience to see students excelling in a community setting with skills we have been working on the last month or so! #physed

Baseball Race to 100 - students practice batting a 🎲 off a tee and count their way to 100 using our interactive 100 counter made on @genially. Students love using their iPads during class and I love making it functional for learning! #PhysEd

Shoutout to excellent student teachers like @brunkowjada from @UWLaCrosse. Such a pleasure to work with and help guide new PE teachers esp those who dive in and build relationships with S’s and get super excited to drive floor scrubber 😂. Give her a shout out #physed world!
