First: kindness. 💛
A little sketchbook version of me — inclusion, movement, modifications, friendships, visuals, organized chaos, and believing every student belongs in PE. ✨

PVC 🏀 dribbling device for Ss who use wheelchairs & walkers. Prob my new fav build. Love the realistic motion of dribbling which is hard for many of my Ss, keeping the ball close, & the independence it gave them in moving. SO to my hubby for helping with this one! #AdaptedPE

🦸 It’s Movement Superhero Day!
As part of National Adapted Physical Education Week, we’re celebrating the movement superpowers of every student—rolling, running, balancing, throwing, using assistive technology, & cheering on a friend.
Because everyone belongs in PE.

Talk with your students about their “movement superpowers.”
You might ask:
•What is something your body does really well?
•How do you like to move?
•What helps you participate in PE?

I saw this super cute idea @GTCromwellAACPS and I love it! What a great idea to provide a way for students & staff to share kind notes to teachers in the building! Promoting kindness & positive words can have a huge impact on a teachers day and the school culture. Great idea!!
