Happy Spring! Time has been flying by this year, and I realized I haven't posted in awhile. I want to share some videos of the Dance Unit the Music teacher and I taught to our students. We have a tradition of combining our classes to teach a dance unit together the week before spring break. We always have fun, and the students learn a large variety of dances!

Teaching Track & Field is about more than teaching the principles of run, jump and throw. Track and Field is about getting students to set goals and push themselves to be the best athlete they can be. It’s not about coming 1st, 2nd, 3rd or last. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. Most kids know this. What they don’t know is that he is also one of the hardest working.

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. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

This is a guest post from Candace DiGiacomo of Tucker Hockey. For spectators, one of the most compelling aspects of hockey is its physicality and high-tempo nature. Many hockey players also relish the physical battle, but sometimes that can manifest itself in harmful ways. On rare occasions, this could take the form of concussion, which is something that players, parents and especially coaches have a duty to handle sensibly.
