Whether you’re officially starting your new school year or coming back after the long Christmas break, returning to school can be challenging for both students and teachers.

From here, teachers can create stations where students can spread out into smaller groups and practice different types of exercises. Teachers can pair and match different drills depending on total class time.

Reach Outside of the 4 Walls of the Gym During my 20 year career as a PE teacher in Vinton, Iowa, my school would hold an open house the first few weeks of school. Parents and their children would go from class to class to hear from the teachers about what they could expect their children to be learning in the coming year.

One of the most frustrating things that happen on a way too frequent basis is students who don't go to PE because they are held back by a classroom teacher. If a student was misbehaving in class and not listening to the teacher, they missed PE. PE should be a non-negotiable. They didn’t turn in their homework.

An Olympic year is always a special time for an elementary PE teacher. While there are certainly many events that a teacher can draw inspiration from, I am particularly biased to the original events, athletics, swimming, and chariot races!

Students who dislike gym are typically less physically gifted than some of their counterparts.

What are we losing?
