The below took a very long time to manifest. It is a combination of work stress, doubts about alignment of what I want with what it should it be like to be a Physical Education (PE) teacher, fatigue, etc. Amidst all these, my last impetus to just sharing my thoughts below (jumbled up thoughts!) came after a discussion with a fellow teacher in the all-consuming discussion of what PE is and what it should look like.

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

Spring is a time for graduating students and their families to start planning how they will pay for higher education in the coming fall. This is incredibly important, as being educated on these types of finances can be crucial in reducing poor financial outcomes. As the end of the school year nears, we here at FACTS thought this would be an excellent time to shed a light on the importance of financial literacy – and why the sooner students start learning about it, the better.

By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

During the pandemic, I got fat. To be 100% truthful, I was always a little too fat, but I was also pretty strong (competitive powerlifter), so the extra girth was “justified.” However, as the Covid numbers kept climbing and climbing, I knew that doing a powerlifting meet, where sometimes hundreds of people are all in close proximity all day long, was not a great idea.

Penn State’s Pre-K early learning social-emotional standards include: “Know and state independent thoughts and feelings” (25.1.1 Self Awareness) and “Participate in new experiences with confidence and independence” (25.1.3 Competence).
