My favorite skill to focus on at the start of the year (& throughout the whole year!) with our ELS classes is taking turns. Today we took turns walking a designated pathway & delivered beanbags along the way. #physed #ape

The best teachers know this truth: 💛 Love the kid more than the content. Because when students know they are valued, they’ll lean into the learning. When they feel seen, they’ll take risks. And when they trust you, they’ll give their best effort — even in subjects they once

🏰 Guard Your Castle. A quick game of switching from offense to defense. Players cannot move with the ball but can use passing to move closer to a target to earn control of the tower 🎯 #physed Shawn Nowlan Rena Sotos Rupley Elementary
