One of the strategies I did not include in the Calming Cards I wrote about HERE was coloring, mainly because in PE it isn't one of our usual go-to's. However, there are times when coloring is exactly what a student (or adult!) needs, and that's when these Calming Coloring Sheets are the solution. I always have a few of these sheets around if a student asks or I know it would be an appropriate option.

Teaching Health can be intimidating and sensitive, depending on the topic. Teaching Health can also be the most rewarding subject to teach as you get to engage in critical content that helps to develop life skills. In my opinion, no other subject does this. Did you know that a properly taught Health program reduces the risk of heart disease by 2.16 percentage points and reduces the risk of diabetes by 1.3 percentage points?

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

In my previous post on Classroom Management Strategies , I mentioned that one of the consequences after a verbal warning was for a student to sit out on the bench. I want to follow that up with what I have students do during this time. My goal is not to have them out of physical activity for any extended period of time, since activity and movement are what will probably help them process their emotions best.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.
