Randolph Elementary School
Each P.E. class at Randolph Elementary School begins with a creative warm up. Today, the students began with "Seven Days of Bootcamp". https://youtu.be/XJ-Pq5U8NkU and then reviewed their locomotor skills. Then, Coach Tippen had the students review their kicking and throwing skills during station activities; such as, deck ring soccer, basketball, and an underhand beanbag toss. Coach Tippen does a great job of finding meaningful videos on YouTube to use in physical education. If you are looking for something, email her, and she might have a video idea for you to use. tippen@fultonschools.org
Stonewall Tell Elementary
Students have been working on their rhythms and dance unit at Stonewall Tell Elementary. IPads are being used in grades 3 - 5 to enhance instruction by allowing the students to create/assess/publish original dance routines. Learning was personalized by allowing students to choose their songs, dance style, and group size. If a group did not like to dance, the students could create a rhythmic routine with jump ropes or basketballs. Students also utilized the Google Classroom for instruction during class. Contact April Nephew for more information nephewa@fultonschools.org

SkateTime School Program
Have you thought about adding roller skating to your program to enhance cardiovascular endurance? I've done this for 2 years, and the students really enjoy it! They provide an instructor for the first day, and give you the curriculum to teach. I kept the skates for 5 class periods (2 1/2 weeks). Please email Cole Grantham if you want more information.

Jump Rope For Heart
Does your school participate in Jump Rope for Heart? This is a great project based learning unit for physical education! I had our community representative speak with the students, and we made post cards for the children at the local hospital. This is in addition to the great things that JRFH does to enhance our program. You can also do the Hoops for Heart in the Elementary School! Please check out www.heart.org/jump or www.heart.org/hoops

Fulton County Physical Education: Definitions of Instructional Technology, Rigor and MVPA in Physical Education
Rigor - The teacher creates a student-centered, challenging environment where individual student and class performance is continually assessed to guide instruction through extending, refining, and applying tasks or activities. The content is linked for transfer of learning within physical education and among other content areas.
Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) - MVPA is the time spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity during the lesson. The intensity of the activity depends on the individual’s previous experience in their level of fitness. It is the expectation that students are engaged in MVPA for a minimum of 50% of class time.
