Calming Coloring Pages for Students & Adults

Mindful PE

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 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.

Mindful PE

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.
