    Welcome everyone. Here is question #1 again: What are classroom connections? How does #physed link with classroom education. #espechat
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1.b absolutely! kids get so surprised and excited when I "suddenly" am using vocab from their math unit or they say "we just learned" this. #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Question 1 has ended!!! Are you ready for Question 2? #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Q2. How can #physed develop links with reading and ELA standards? Can you please share some examples? #espechat
  • WatkinsHollyn Sep 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    #espechat A1: For my class I am focusing my genius hour project on how 6th grade Physical Education class can improve students ability to collaborate. I believe that #physed is extremely important when It comes to classroom connections and helps build students relationships
  • framed01 Sep 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1 making connections to the CR through #physed activities. Such as teaching cultural dances for heritage day. Doing calculation with the mile run etc. #physed #espechat
  • Mr_Chev_PE Sep 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1) In PE teachers need to integrate other subjects throughout lessons and activities. For instance, we used math today while playing parachute K-2. Also, gathering resources for teachers to teach physical activity throughout their lessons. #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Do you feel that this would help at the college level too? #espechat
    In reply to @WatkinsHollyn
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1 we are given the ELA, Math, science and SS curriculum standards and outcomes and we plan w the CR Ts on how best we as a faculty can help Ss meet the standards for each subject. #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    Cool can you share some ideas for Q2. #espechat
    In reply to @LovePrimaryPE
  • framed01 Sep 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2 Having ss read your what why how, providing articles for them to analyze, reading food labels etc these will help with ELA as will ss talking about the subject or the focus, presenting to the group #espechat #physed
  • Mr_Chev_PE Sep 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1) Phys Ed is much more than playing games. I teach collaboration, teamwork, responsibility, etc through physical activity. Add Health and other contents we are busy year-round #espechat
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2: sight words, fluency, rhyming, vocab, inferences, 2 many. Activities can include reading a sight word, b4/after a task, creating a rhyming word, creating words from a set of letters collected- game we call scramble), ....#espechat
  • AndrewWymer10s Sep 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A1. In a way classroom connections don't have to be academic. It can be about connecting school culture to the specials classes as well. #espechat

  • MrPicha_PE Sep 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    A2 use common language within our own PE content (e.g. compare and contrast two different sports or activities) #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    Question 2 has ended!!!! #espechat
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A2 I have dry erase boards at each learning station with directions for Ss to read. They must read with intention and be able to ask questions and answer questions about the text. This is huge for our Ss rn. #ESPEchat

    A2 my librarian provides books to fit any lesson...this one example I got from the #PEInstitute #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    Q3. Physical Education is a science. What are some concepts and skills that link to Next Generation Science standards? Can you share some examples. #espechat

    A2. We work together with classroom educators to develop PBL projects and natural connections with content. #espechat
  • smsandino Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A1 Classroom connections are those bridges you build to make learning in #physed and across the board a little more seamless, to make the WHY that much stronger. It even makes our subject matter more relevant for ss who may have a hard time sipping the #physed juice #ESPEchat
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2.b short read alouds b4 activity to build vocab or comprehension especially for ELL! #espechat
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2 I use language and words they know and words they may need to sound out. Following through is where they fall short sometimes. But the process is ongoing and they are beginning to comprehend. #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    Welcome Stephanie. #espechat. You PD looked amazing this weekend.
    In reply to @smsandino
  • WatkinsHollyn Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    #espechat I do believe that taking a brain break and being involved with #physed improves all students classroom connections and collaborative skills no matter what age. It is important to take the time to clear your head. What better way than getting out and exercising!

    A2 I’ve been talking with an instructional coach on my campus about using @Newsela to help ss with their lexile scores. So essentially I would use it as an anticipatory set or perhaps bringing up a health topic, attached with a thinking map #ESPEchat

    Let's move to question #4!!! #ESPECHAT
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A3.b: But I link science to just about every lesson: laws of motion, simple machines (lever bat: fulcrum/power vs control) force, trajectory. Ss ask if i am teaching science or pE #espechat
  • smsandino Sep 25 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A3 Our science teacher has reached out to our #physed department with a heart rate lesson. We have steps that ss use to enter and exit school. He uses these for his lesson by having ss go up and down the steps along with calculating their HR, max HR, target zone, etc. #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    Q4. Physical Education links to character education and social emotional learning? What are some of your favorite character ed and SEL lessons? #ESPEchat
  • erik_myer Sep 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    Howdy! Late to the game. In two chats tonight. #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    A3. I connect with the Science Standards with activities that link to force. speed and environmental standards. #espechat We have so many standards that parallel.
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    A3 I work closely w the STEM T and we link lots of science standards together. She’s growing and harvesting and we are discussing food groups and healthy choices. #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    Question 4 has a happy smile from all your answers. Let’s move to Question 5 !!!! #ESPEchat

    A3 Connection with systems and force and speed of objects. #physed #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    Q5. What are some resources that you can provide to your classroom educators to use physical activity in their classroom? #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    I did a cool PBL project with the students Garden to Lunch room idea. The students loved weeding and mulch the plants. #espechat Now only if we did have rain everyday for the summer.

    A4a We have Second Step lessons at our school, we are doing our 3rd out of 12 tomorrow. Just last week I mixed it up and added a movement piece (along with the PPT they ask us to use). Did the human knot with negotiating and compromising along with action steps #ESPEchat

  • smsandino Sep 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    I did with my K-6 when I had pedometers! I want to start again! Right now, @KateCoxPE has this really cool idea about having her ss take pictures of themselves during the pacer and using them to attach to a certain number of the RPE scale #ESPEchat
    In reply to @rich_wiles, @KateCoxPE
  • WatkinsHollyn Sep 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    #espechat Do you believe that some of these helpful science standards could potentially improve a students ability to collaborate with other students in the classroom as they learn about and discuss the topics that were brought up in Physical Education class?
    In reply to @rich_wiles
  • AndrewWymer10s Sep 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    Q4. I don't necessarily do specific lessons on character and sel as much as I incorporate it into the lesson as extensions. After everyone is able to understand what to do we "level up" to improve the activity by adding sel strategies #espechat
    In reply to @rich_wiles
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:34 PM EDT
    A5 Ts come to us everyday for hoops, balls, ropes, cups, balance boards, etc. we have lots they can use. #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    I really like that idea. I was teaching SJR today and my ipads did an update and lost all the memory due to a county push of apps. Epic fail. I will be using that idea. #espechat
  • smsandino Sep 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A4b Used @MsTuckerRocksPE lesson called build-a-gym to teach social awareness. It’s a tag game where the taggers are negative impacts and ss are trying to retrieve word cards to put up on their build-a-gym wall #ESPEchat

    A5 My go to resources to give classroom teachers are always the following (moreso, for K-6): @CoachPirillo movement videos (especially like his stability ball drumming ones, I tell the ts to use desks), @GoNoodle , @CosmicKidsYoga & @DANCEPL3Y YouTube videos #ESPEchat
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    A6 lots of math connections. Using dice, playing cards, score sheets, etc. we use all of the above almost every class period with k-2 #ESPEchat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    A5. @OPENPhysEd Active Classroom and Early Childhood. I like Hopple ideas and Noodle books. Most activities can be modified for small spaces. #espechat
  • framed01 Sep 25 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A6 Talking with CR teachers to see what areas ss are struggling and see if you can adapt to your lesson. One yr ss did not get angles we worked on them in PE and the struggle was over. Learn by human building. #espechat
  • LovePrimaryPE Sep 25 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A6 we also use the dry erase boards for Ss to “write” answers to questions. Letter and number formations are foundations for my little ones. #ESPEchat
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A6: our games are all linked to a SOL. So Evaporation is a throwing game based on the water cycle, VA REGions is "thunder, lightning, fire but with VA Regions, Line tag is electricity or blood tag depending on what I'm reinforcing (circuits or circulatory system) #espechat

    A6 I’ve linked historical facts w my passport 🏏 lesson where ss travel from country to country not only learning about cricket skills but also cricket facts (I’m sure I need to work on extending these facts to something a little more rich, but it’s a work in progress) #ESPEchat
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A6.b Using content language: perimeter, area, line, intersection =easy way 2 make connections. we estimate a lot, & skip count in exercises, count by 3s / 4s to learn mult. facts when planking. We have even counted by the presidents-Although we usually stop Monroe. (5) #espechat

    Q7. Final Question: Why does this classroom connection link matter? #ESPEchat
  • framed01 Sep 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A7 As life time learners and movers we need to help our ss understand that everything is connected. #ESPEchat #physed
  • PE1o1 Sep 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A7: be they are ALL of our Kids we are all responsible for them and their success. any thing we can do to connect S to the knowledge and understanding they need to be successful in school and in life is something we should be supporting! #espechat
