Getting her degree as a registered nurse is a dream come true for Misty Blue Foster. And she did so with all the odds stacked against her. Foster was born three months premature with cloacal exstrophy , a rare birth defect of the abdominal wall in which the organs are outside of the body, and spina bifida. Her mother was addicted to heroin and passed away when Foster was 5.

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.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. 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.

Throughout my career as a physical education teacher, I have grown a strong appreciation for juggling scarves ! Inexpensive, portable, simple to use, easy to store – scarves should be in every PE teacher’s repertoire, especially towards the end of year when you find yourself teaching somewhere other than your gym! This piece of equipment is highly inclusive, improves hand-eye coordination, can be stimulating or calming for students, and instills a growth mindset through student autonomy.
