The 21st Century Physical Educator Gone are the days of running laps, fitness as punishment and matching tracksuits (but they are snazzy). If it wasn’t for students having Health and PE classes with their teachers, there would not have been much movement and activity in a students day, and that was before the pandemic.

As the warmer temperatures begin to roll across the country, most kids in school simply can’t wait to get outside and play. My favorite time in school was always recess.

Use the Buddy Circle™ much like you would use a "talking bench"; to help children work out differences. The words are great reminders of what students should do to engage in appropriate social emotional skills!
