Never give up on kids!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PE Focus for 2018:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My focus is to camouflage exercise! I want PE to be so much fun they don\u2019t even know they are exercising!

The first day we took a couple of minutes to learn a little bit about the Olympics. We then talked about how hard Olympic athletes train and how important nutrition and sleep is to the athletes. I set up a training course and modified where needed for each class. Each class then practiced speed skating, using paper plates. The kids also participated in a speed skating event.<\/p>\n<p>We also went outside one day when the snow was perfect for making snowmen! On this day the kids said \u201cPE was so fun!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12244\" src=\"http:\/\/ssww-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3677-e1520952061556.jpg\" alt=\"pe featured teacher\" width=\"550\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3677-e1520952061556.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3677-e1520952061556-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3677-e1520952061556-768x794.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3677-e1520952061556-990x1024.jpg 990w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite part about being a PE teacher? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favorite part about being a PE teacher is seeing the kids excitement when they come in the gym!
