WE TEACH PHYSICAL EDUCATION!!! We are PHYSICAL EDUCATION teachers and we are PROUD to teach Physical Education! Most of us have the luxury to teach in a large playing area we refer to as the “GYM” but we certainly do not teach “GYM” despite what we sometimes hear from our classroom colleagues, administrators, parents, students and from the general public! The term “Gym Class” brings up a negative vibe and it is important that we make an effort to change how we are addressed to bring our field the respect that it deserves. Our discipline is truly holistic as we are one of the few subjects that can reach the “whole child”. We truly have a tremendous effect on our students'’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning ability. This poster was developed as a response to a PE Central Facebook post by Stacy Furness in which she wrote about how frustrated she was with how her solid PE program was being devalued by others in her building. She, like others in our field, are tired of being “looked down upon” and thought of as the “babysitters” located in the gym for others to use in the building. This disrespect begins when others use the term “Gym Class” rather than Physical Education, PhysEd or PE. This poster was designed to be placed on or above a gym door to let others know WHO we are and WHAT we do in a brief but POWERFUL way! I put the poster out for review and found that individual PE teachers have different situations (some without gyms) and also found that some prefer a DIRECT wording approach while others prefer a more INDIRECT one. For that reason, I created 4 versions (with 2 backgrounds for each version) of the poster, to accommodate these style and situational differences.

The Components of Fitness Display Banners have been uniquely developed as a valuable and attractive visual aid when implementing Health and Skill Fitness Components in your physical education classes. The 11 banners include the following fitness components: Health Related - 1. Cardiovascular Endurance, 2. Flexibility, 3. Muscular Strength, 4. Muscular Endurance, and 5. Body Composition. Skill-Related- 1. Agility, 2. Speed, 3. Reaction time, 4.Coordination, 5. Power and 6. Balance. The problem with display boards and banners in a gym is that they are often too small so the students, teachers, and visitors cannot read the information posted rendering it inadequate for its prime purpose. The Components of Fitness Display Banners are designed to cover a large space on your gym wall or hallway leading in to your gym. Your students, administrators, colleagues and parents know that you are serious about teaching important movement concepts in your physical education classes. Each individual Components of Fitness Display Banner is made up of eight connecting 8 ½” by 11” sheets making a large vertical banner. Eleven, large vertical banners and 1 “Components of Fitness” Title Banner make up the entire display board (96 sheets in all). Each Manipulative Skill Banner is made up of the following components: 1. Title of the Component of Fitness (i.e. Agility), 2. Definition of the Component, 3. Examples of Activities/Movements/Skills the components are used in and 4. Colorful Graphics that complement the fitness component. The individual Component of Fitness Banners are colorful but have a white background as to not use up too much ink when you print. The Components of Fitness wording and cues used in this display are helpful as a reference for you as a teacher and can be highlighted during your PE lessons. Each of the Component Banners and the Title Banner are meant to be laminated and can be use for many, many years. The banners are attention-grabbing and can be utilized as an effective teaching tool during your lessons. NEW- I have recently added a folder of "Non-Segregated" JPEG images of the banners for those that have a school poster maker or are willing to pay a company like Office Depot to print out poster-sized replications of the images. This alternate method for producing the large banners saves time but may not have the same quality as printing out the individual PDF 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheets on a color printer and constructing the banner by hand.

The following student workout plan incorporates exercises and movements from the 3 main components of physical fitness: 1. cardiovascular/aerobic endurance, 2. muscular strength and endurance and 3. flexibility. The format of the plan is intended for high school or college age students, 16 years old and above. The plan combines the 3 areas of physical fitness but allows for flexibility in how the students’ determine the duration of each component and the mode in which they exercise. The beauty of this Student Workout Plan is that the students can use it over and over again but have completely different workouts each time they use it. This plan is concise and can be copied on 2 sides making it a 1 sheet design. It incorporates a visual component to help with the students’ recall and it has “check off” buttons and “fill in” areas for cardio workout duration, and resistance sets and repetitions. There are 2 forms of the plan: 1) A plan that is intended for a gym with only free weights and 2) A plan that is intended for a gym with resistance machines such as “Nautilus”.

TS TIME TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!! The following Brain and Body Break Movement Centers have been exclusively created for classroom teachers to give their children an opportunity to move and energize their bodies so that they are able to refocus and learn! The movement centers are an excellent tool for developing your students’ heart and muscles and also benefit their brains. Several recent studies have shown how important it is for children to "move" throughout the day to help them stay "sharp" and ready to learn! The “Rockin Movement Centers” can be done directly in your classrooms as individual large group activities lead by the teacher or in a more traditional “small group format”, where the students read the task cards and perform the movement in designated areas in your classroom, outside at recess, or in another facility such as an empty room or gym. These centers were selected and modified from my “PE stations” Series because of their ability to be performed in limited space areas. Most of the centers require no equipment and a few of them require 1 or 2 items per child or partner group. Many of the items you could borrow from your PE teacher or collect in your classroom for continued use. If you are a PE teacher and have previously purchased any of my PE Stations products, you already have many of these items (in a slightly different format) and will not need to purchase these centers. All 75 of the activities are suitable for boys and girls and can be adapted to match your limited equipment and space restraints. Since there are 75 total Rockin Movement Center cards, you can easily mix them up throughout the school year and have more than enough activities to use for many break times, transitions, recess, testing pauses, or adapted schedule change opportunities. The cards provide brief directions with entertaining graphics and also include the motor skill or fitness concept addressed during the movement. If you lack the equipment or space for one or more of the stations, feel free to adapt it in whatever way best meets the needs of your children and your unique situation. Play music indoors during movement or take some of the center cards outside on great weather days and you will bring great enjoyment and rejuvenation to your students every day!!!

LET’S START A REVOLUTION!!! Inside this PACKAGE are 25 “FANTASTIC FRISBEE” games, designed for students with a wide range of abilities, from 3rd Grade through 10th Grade. These HIGH FLYING DISC GAMES are ideal for large or medium sized groups, outside on a field, on a blacktop play area or inside a large gym. Some of the games are large group games that many students can be involved in at the same time and some of them are “break-out” games that students play in smaller groups. All of the games require either some hard outdoor or soft indoor foam flying discs and a few of them require some standard PE items such as cones, bases, hula hoops and beanbags. These games can be used by PE TEACHERS as an extension of their throwing/catching units or during a standalone flying disc unit (after the basic skills have been taught). The individual games can also be utilized by a CLASSROOM TEACHER as an organized RECESS GAME ACTIVITY to keep students active and focused during their play time. In addition, many of the base games make great large-group activities for school-wide events such as FIELD DAY or for a class or grade-level REWARD DAY sometime during the school year. These disc games involve several PE manipulative and locomotor skills such as throwing, catching, blocking, running, slide stepping and leaping. Strategic concepts, teamwork, cooperation and sportsmanship are also important components in the 25 disc games.

BRAIN BOOSTS FOR YOUR STUDENTS!!! Have you ever noticed your students getting the "Hum Drums"? Do they get fidgety or lose concentration at certain times of the day? Do they look at you like..... "Hey Teach, can we get up and move a little"!!! Did you know that physical activity can increase student performance? Movement is not only good for the heart and muscles but it also helps our brains. Several studies have shown that it is very important that children "move" throughout the day to help them stay "sharp" and ready to learn! These "Classroom Energizers and Activity Break flip cards" are a very convenient and creative way for you to "move your students" with a purpose!!! The "energizer" cards are very colorful, including graphics and detailed instructions that include an overview, set up, equipment needed, directions and modifications.

The following activity; 1-2-3…"Energize Me” is a “high energy, fun and organized” classroom activity that gives your students a chance to move their bodies in a number of ways, while learning to recognize their numbers from 1-20. 1-2-3…"Energize Me" does not require any equipment and can be used as a “Brain Break” or as a functional, number recognition lesson. It can also be utilized in the gym or outside by a classroom or PE teacher if students need to move their bodies in a larger space. You can show the cards and do a whole group activity where all of the students perform the same movement at the same time (while you reinforce number recognition). You could also set up “station” or “center” areas throughout the room and have your students rotate to each number card and movement.

TAKE SOME MOVEMENT ADVICE FROM THE PE SUPER FRIENDS!!! The PE Super Friends- Locomotor Movement Sign Package include 11 exciting and colorful signs that were created to help elementary school students understand the basic cues for walking, jogging, running, galloping, slide stepping, skipping, hopping, leaping, jumping crab walking and rolling. The images are eye-catching and fun for children and the information communicates simple prompts to help remind students what is important to think about as they move about the playing area. Each sign includes a PE Super Hero describing the locomotor Movement cues and a student performing the movement. The signs can be displayed in key areas of your gym to be highlighted during instruction. They can be used to reinforce the locomotor movement instructional cues you cover during your class. Whether you are focusing on the locomotor movement directly during class or you are playing a game that incorporates the movement, the signs can work as a valuable and practical tool for you to come back to time and time again!
