ChristinaThiel5 Mar 2 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1. Having lessons that get students out of their desks and moving! Doesn't need to be complicated! Also GoNoodle is great! #saskedchat

In younger grades students are taught fundamental life skills whereas older grades seems more hypothetical - built on #saskedchat

A2. #saskedchat I read somewhere that a Ss age determines there length of focus. 10yr = 10 min.

kwhobbes - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:12 PM EST

Q2. Why do you think physically activity is found mostly in K - 8 classrooms? #saskedchat

kwhobbes - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2 - #saskedchat - too often in HS the idea of movement is a PE activity instead of just being active & moving. #getoutofthedesk

MsSaretsky Mar 2 @ 9:16 PM EST

That is too bad. Content can still be covered with movement and HS classes are longer- the movement need might be greater! #saskedchat

nikulak - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2. Because HS Ts feel overwhelmed with the amount that they need to cover with Ss and only way to get across is in seats. #saskedchat

Q3. How do you incorporate physical activity into you classroom? #saskedchat

A2: HS Ts are supercilious know-it-alls. Can confirm, Was HS Teacher. #saskedchat (Actually had a teacher today trying to justify "fun" ?!)

MrsParisloff Mar 2 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1 #saskedchat I think it means flexible space - time and room to move as needed. Also creating opportunities for physical activity.

hoffman_april Mar 2 @ 9:19 PM EST

Have brain breaks and movement as part of the routine day 1 -- for younger and HS -- make it known it is part of the environment #saskedchat

Seems like students in K-8 are more physically active, engaging in more free-time physical activity than Grades 9-12 #saskedchat

Q2. Why do you think physically activity is found mostly in K - 8 classrooms? #saskedchat

ChristinaThiel5 Mar 2 @ 9:21 PM EST
