September Edition
This month we….
Establish Routines
- Students enter the gym quietly
- Put on Pedometers
- Read "WHAT" to do, and begin
- Discuss "WHY" we are doing this lesson
- Unpack "HOW" we know we have learned the material
Begin using technology
PLICKERS
Plickers is an app that lets teachers use a device to scan the room an assess each students answer in less than 30 seconds. Each student uses their own unique QR Code to answer the questions, which means they are engaged without feeling self conscious about their choice.
FitStep Pro Pedometers
I am excited to use these Pedometers by Gopher this year. They accurately count the number of steps taken, as well as measure the amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity time. The students will upload their data at the end of each class to keep track of their fitness.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo is an app that allows me to reward and monitor student behavior. Students earn points several different categories: Responsible Leader, Kind, Helper, Entered Gym Properly, Highly Active Participation, On Task, Problem Solver, Discussion Contributor, Teamwork, Active Participation, and Lining Up Properly.
