JOG-ography!! Let’s Exercise Across the U S A !!

Hello Pashley Polar Bears, WELCOME BACK

I am excited to start another year with you! This year we will talk about the geography of the USA!

I am asking PE Teachers from across the country to share what state they teach in.  We will locate them on my map and exercise our way to where they live.  I can’t wait to travel with you all.

Our first teacher response came from Minnesota!!

Do you know where Minnesota is located?

Get your sneakers ready and see you soon.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween Pashley Polar Bears!!

I am sure you are as excited as my kids for trick or treating!

**Make sure an adult checks your candy first BEFORE you eat it!  AND the ToothFairy wanted me to remind you to also brush your teeth extra this month!

What are you going to do with all that left over candy?

  • Make DIY trail mix
  • freeze it
  • donate it to “Operation Shoebox” the military!
  • practice counting, sorting and creating math sentences with them
  • use it for a science experiment
  • save it for decorating your Gingerbread house next month
  • GIVE YOUR REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS TO MRS. FERRIE!!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY?

What a fantastic trip back to visit Ithaca College!

I had the privilege of teaching some PE activities to college students preparing to be PE Teachers :-).  What a blast!!!

I also got to be with my college best friend (she is an amazing PE Teacher in Buffalo)

Thank You Ithaca College for an amazing college experience, as it felt great to “give back” to the college and the student’s today.

What do you LOVE about Physical Education?

Our True Gifts at the Holidays

 

sunshine elves

Christmas is one of my most favorite times of the year.

The smells, the lights, the music, the tree—I love it all.  What is most important about gifts, (I remind my children) and students at school, we already have…

  • our health!!
  • our families
  • warmth, shelter and food
  • ability to read, hear, sing, dance and breathe

Anything else is just the “extra” things in our life.

These cheerful elves helped deliver small gifts of appreciation to ALL our Teachers and Staff at school. No one was left out or felt forgotten.

Take time to acknowledge all the people in your world…even if it is a “greeting” of  Happy Holidays!

 Merry Fitness and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!
