Physical Education

Hey guys! Just wanted you all to know that we are missing you. I hope that things can get back to somewhat normal soon so that we can get back to school, sports, band, friends and all the other things that we love to do.

In the meantime, hopefully you will take this time we have and make the most of it. Enjoy this time you have with your families. If you get to where you are feeling bored, alone or aggravated there are some things you can do to help cope with these feelings. I'm no therapist, these are just some things I've read or found to help in my household.

Get Dressed

Set your clock. Get up and get ready everyday. It doesn't have to be as early as you get up to go to school but get up, get a shower and get out of your pj's.

Make a Routine

Have a schedule. Include meals, exercise, school work, chores, phone time, family time etc. You can actually think you don't have anything to do but if you plan out all the nothing you have to do you can make a full day of it.

Weekly Plan

Plan your week out. Make your weekends different than the week. Sleep a little later. Be lazy if you want. Monday morning get back at it.

Go Outside

Get outside and do something. Go for a walk or run, throw a ball against the house, use that jump rope I gave you guys the last day we were at school. Try to make an exercise routine. It doesn't have to be an hour of intense training or anything like that. There are different plans for different levels of fitness. I will put a link at the bottom of the page that has thousands of different exercises you can do.

Limit Social Media

Look through it by all means if you want but just don't scroll endlessly. I think some people have been know to put stuff on there that make things look rosier than they may actually be (not a fact, just my opinion). This can leave us feeling left out or less than. This is not the case. We have everything we need to be happy and successful.

Be Helpful

Helping others makes us feel good about ourselves. There are many ways you can help people while using social distancing. Take the elderly neighbor's garbage to the road and back, pull some weeds out of the flower beds, do some laundry for mom, clean your room, mow the grass. You get the picture, it's not hard to be helpful to others.

These are just suggestions. There are many articles, videos, etc. online that can help you with trying to figure out how to cope with this time that we are in. Don't just float endlessly through this time. I have a feeling the summer may be more of the same. It may open up somewhat but it's not going to be the summer we are used to. Before you know it we could be sitting here saying to ourselves what in the world have I been doing for the past 6 months. Find a plan that works for you and your family.
