Q6: If you held a Bring Your Parents to PE week, last week what were your biggest challenges? #espechat

jcmonluxpe Oct 3 @ 8:42 PM EDT

I was going to go basic and ask verbally and have them speak to others around them. Failing at the geeking out. #espechat

A6: My biggest challenge is how to always keep it fresh for parents, especially those with siblings. #espechat

MrPicha_PE Oct 3 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6 some Ps didn’t hear about it in time. At the same time, did not have enough equipment for some groups due to ⬆️ amt. of Ps #ESPEchat

SaraWoodPE Oct 3 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Love this! #espechat

MrWillPE Oct 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: Yesterday a parent said that they talked about it over the weekend at a birthday party. They said "PE is so much better now." #espechat

next year will be better. Did you ask for RSVPs? #espechat

In reply to @MrPicha_PE

PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Do you have different lessons for each grade level or do you keep to the same few activities? #espechat

A6. Only problem with grandparents day is chairs in the gym. Same problem with AED Week. Outside the safe line please. #espechat

Have you seen a push from your ps when it comes to helping advocate for #physed & decent class sizes etc. because of this? #espechat

In reply to @HPEC_CA, @MrWillPE
