Our school is planning on in-person instruction this fall. And although we'll be socially distancing, I'm planning on running many outdoor PE activities since the Gym will be used as a cafeteria. I am excited to put together a structured PE program that incorporates a circuit warm up, skill instruction, and fun followup games. Cones and cups will help with student conditioning and coordination in a variety of settings. These materials can be used as part of student stations, fun runs, and obstacle courses. I strive to keep my students engaged while developing an appreciation for the importance of exercise.
