Ss are practicing overhand throwing in #PhysEd. Throw at the candy corn on the haystack. Knock it down to earn a piece of equipment to decorate their pumpkins. Lots of cool creations today! #fsd157c GPHeroes #FallFun #throwing

Last year, I was on national television with a segment advocating for quality #PhysEd! 💪 @TODAYshow
Meet the PE teacher whose classes are about more than fitness! 💪 @CoachGelardi sat down with @dylandreyernbc to talk about how he makes fitness fun with his students and how he found a social media following.

This week in #PhysEd we are playing Scrabble Relay with 2-5! Students are putting their brains and bodies to the test in this fast-paced #CrossCurricular activity. If you’ve played something like this we are open to variations as well!

Tips/Tricks I use for teaching golf in #PhysEd! ⛳️ 1. Carpet squares placed under the tees.   2. @FloormarX to help with foot placement. 3. Bucket (full of tennis balls) for each group. 4. @GopherSport NowNets in between each tee for safety.

Eggs in the Basket. Ss will strike their balloon with paddle until it goes into basket. If balloon touches ground, stop striking balloon, or other hand touches balloon, student must return balloon back to partner for their turn. ⁦@OlatheElemPE⁩ ⁦@KAHPERD⁩

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
Q. Would you have certified the 2020 election? JD Vance: No. “I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and ask the country to have a debate” Disqualifying

We cannot afford to have a president who attempts to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election.
Vice President Harris: Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. Clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that

Saw Solar Eclipse tag from @MrHamiltonPE But I didn’t have a big yellow ball or sunglasses 🕶️. No sweat! @CoachGelardi Octopus tag to the rescue! Made a sun and made our own Eclipse viewing goggles from these cool noodles! #PhysEd @GP157c #Eclipse #tag

SOLAR ECLIPSE TAG ☀️🕶️ Next week we are off school for the Solar Eclipse, so today we learned about this once in a lifetime event in #physed! If you get tagged by the moon or the sun, grab a pair of glasses and run a lap around the playing area before returning to the game!
