Please keep sharing what you did in your communities and with your students so that we can share with others the great ideas you have! Clay Ellis, NASPE National High School Teacher of the Year from Aurora, Colorado, put together an amazing program. This sort of event does not happen overnight. It takes weeks, months, in the planning. I have included a couple of the flyers that Clay created for the event. He…See More
Pam Powers posted a blog postThe Hoopla over Hula Hoops
One of my favorite activities with students has always been hula hooping. Whether it was introduction to hoops with my pre-kindergarten, or running through the hoops with my second graders, it was always a great day. And, great exercise. Here are a few of my favorite activities. Hula Hooping I was not really very good at…See More
Pam Powers posted a blog postWho says healthy eating habits start at home?
Making healthy choices is becoming more and more a part of our daily lessons in physical education. Obesity trends are a good indicator of our nutrition habits. Often times, we need to teach our students good nutrition and they will share with their parents. Who says good eating habits start at home? Here are some great…See More

Pam Powers posted a blog postMaking Field Day Memorable
In a time and place where time is a precious commodity, it seems that every minute needs to count…even that one day a year that is known as Field Day.
