Catching Game - Six and Switch
Directions:  Gather some items you can play catch with (ask your parents first ;-).  Catch 6 in a row, then switch to the next item.  You can play alone or with a partner.  Remember to have READY HANDS for catching!
Here is how you can play at home if you are stuck inside (click for link)

Catching Tricks/Stunts

Staying Active Over Break

Happy Spring!  Check out the links below for activities and exercises you can do today and over the weekend.

Push-Up Challenge:  Video demonstration of my 5th graders.   You can do this at home by yourself or with your brothers/sisters.  Use a stuffed animal if you don't have a ball.  How many can you do?

Curl-Up Challenge:  Video demonstration of my students.  You can also do this by yourself at home by hooking your feet under your coach.  Put your stuffed animal on the couch too so they can "help you count".  :-)  How many can you do?

Basketball Challenge:  If you have a basketball and hoop at home, play HOT SHOT (click for a video demonstration).  How many baskets can you make in one minute?  Play as many rounds as you can!

Don't have a basketball?  Use a soccer ball, baseball, or other ball to practice your kicking, throwing or catching.

Dancing Challenge:  Click on the links below for some dances!

Workouts and Activities to do at Home

Hi Everyone,

We've only been off of school for three days and I already miss my students so much!  I hope everyone is staying healthy and trying to keep a positive attitude.  The sun is shining today here in Michigan, and I am thankful for that!   Please take a look at the links below.  There is a short exercise video for you to follow along with, and some jump rope challenges.  Try to get outside in the fresh air and do something active like take a walk, bike ride, roller blade, or just run around your yard!  If you can't get outside, do some dancing inside!

Kids Heart Challenge 2020

For the past several years, our school has participated in the Kids Heart Challenge (formerly known as

Jump Rope for Heart).  We hold the event on Valentine's Day.  Students participate in a variety of physical activities including jumping rope, obstacle courses and more!  The students turn in the donations they have collected for the American Heart Association.  If you would like to make a donation, or register your student, follow this link:

At the end of our assembly each year, I have a group of students who perform a jump rope routine to the song "Jump" by Van Halen. It's so much fun, and it motivates the whole school to learn about heart health!  Check out the video below!

This was our practice video because I was not able to record during the actual assembly this year.

This video shows the tricks we do and gives demonstrations:

Great start to the school year!

Happy fall everyone!  This year I began my 15th year teaching Physical Education.  I must say, it is

One of our new students!

pretty awesome teaching in the school's newly renovated gymnasium!  We have had a great start to the school year!  I'm also excited to have a student teacher, Miss Kastens, with us this semester.

One of my goals has always been to use time wisely during P.E. class.  The students come to P.E. once a week for 45 minutes, therefore it's important for us to have routines and procedures in place so that no time is wasted on management issues.  We follow social contracts, have student leaders each class, and reward positive behavior.  My returning students have had a very smooth transition back to school, and my new students have done a great job learning the rules and procedures!

Check out the pictures, videos and descriptions below to find out about some things the students have learned this fall.

1.  Daily Dozen Warm-Up Routine - The students begin class by participating in a choreographed, fun mix of 12 exercises.  I have many videos of our routines.  Check them out below!
