Yesterday was a particularly great day to be a Wahoo sports fan: men's lacrosse beat #1 ranked Notre Dame, women's lacrosse beat #11 ranked Notre Dame, UVA softball clinched their series against Pitt, and UVA baseball clinched their series against Florida State.

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000+ questions every school day. So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, “So what’s for dinner?”

I stole this great idea from @KCarpHPE ! I don’t have time to make positive phone calls for every deserving child so I send this positive note instead. @PeaseMustangs #buildingpease #physed

K-2 playing Line your Manners by @MrSpringPE with Basketballs Dribble while following a line. When you meet another student, play RPS. #elempe #physed #196pride @DiamondPath196 – at Apple Valley, MN
Looking to teach your Ss how to be kind, considerate, & put others first in #physed? Give our “Line Your Manners” a try! So many teachable moments with this creation. I’ve never been so proud watching our Ss interact in such kind ways! They could’ve done this the entire period 😊

A special education teacher’s experience working at school is way different from a general education teacher’s experience working at school.

If any #PhysEd teachers are looking for folding mats, check your nearest IKEA store! A little smaller in size, but a great deal for $39!

This is the reality of being a teacher. Cart-mine. Laptop-mine. Bc the chrome book supplied to me won't cxn to a projector. Projector-mine bc I've asked multiple times for one w no answer. iPad-mine. Bc the ones they supplied me with won't play music. Music- mine. "Screen"- mine – at Texas, USA
