ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Welcome to my Health & P.E.
Lesson Plans Webpage!
Thanks for stopping by. I'm Mrs. S. and I love creating Health and P.E. curriculum - I just really have a knack of knowing and being able to create activities kids will love! It's a gift I feel very blessed to share.
I have teaching certificates in P.E., Health, and Language Arts, a Master's of Education Degree, my National Board Certification in Health, and over 20 years of experience in the classroom and gym!
I started this website several years ago as a way to impart teaching tips, articles, videos, surveys, strategies, organization, and motivation to other Health and P.E. teachers. It's turned into a treasure trove of information that I hope will help you impact the children and teens you work with.

Grandma Jo's Rolls
Grandma Jo's Rolls
Makes 2 round cake pans with 8 rolls each-16 total rolls
Put in Mixing Bowl:
ÂĽ cup Crisco
ÂĽ cup sugar
½ tsp. salt
Scald 1 cup milk and add to bowl and mix.
Add 1 package of yeast to 1/4 cup hot water,
stir and then add to bowl.
Beat 1 egg and add to bowl.
Slowly add 3½ cups flour and beat until dough is
Mixed-it’s supposed to be soft and sticky! (Don't over mix!) Cover and set in warm place to rise until doubled in size.
Roll out on floured surface ½ inch thick and cut with round cookie cutter. Brush with melted butter and use a knife to help you fold in half. Cover and let rise again until puffy. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes.
For Cinnamon Rolls:
1) Make above dough and let rise until double in size.
2) Use half of dough to roll out on floured cloth to a 1-foot oblong circle ½ inch thick.
3) Brush with melted butter.
4) Mix about 1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbls. white sugar, just a hint of nutmeg, and 1 T. cinnamon and spread over dough.
5) Roll it up and cut it into number of rolls you want to put in pan. (If you use a round cake pan, 8 is good in each of your 2 round cake pans)
6) Put cake pan on stove top very low heat and add 2 Tbls. Butter, 2 Tbls. Karo syrup, and about 1 cup brown sugar. If too thick, add more butter and syrup.
7) Place cut rolls in pan, cover and let rise until doubled in size.
8) Repeat the process for your second round cake pan of cinnamon rolls!
9) Bake at 375 for about 15-20 min.
(In my photo on IG, I used a cast iron biscuit pan that held only 7 bigger rolls. I made the cake pan of sticky sauce on the stove top, then just used a spoon to put some in each of the cast iron biscuit holes. Then I put one cut roll in each hole, let it rise, and baked it! )

Elementary Health:
All the flour in these cookies is gluten-free and if you buy gluten-free oatmeal
(like Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Oatmeal)
these could be completely gluten-free*)
I used 0 calorie Stevia instead of sugar, but I did add coconut, so if you skip the coconut these are sugar-free as well!
THEY TASTE GOOD!!
EVEN MY HUSBAND LIKE THEM!
*Disclaimer: My trial recipe was made with Quaker Oatmeal (which doesn't claim they are gluten-free because it could have small traces of wheat...I haven't tried Bob's Oatmeal yet, but he makes a gluten-free Oatmeal, so I'm going to for 100% pure gluten-free next time!)
Depending on if you add optional ingredients
cookies are 300 - 400 calories each.
The recipe lists calories for each item.

Love this short video!
Not only does it promote reading, but you can use it in your Health class when talking about self-esteem and positive/negative thinking. The #1 way to improve self-esteem is to think positive thoughts.
Our sub-conscious mind can’t tell the difference between what is real
and what is imagined!
It takes any thoughts that you send to it as reality. Once you direct an image or visualization to your sub-conscious brain, it will work 24 hours a day to make that image a reality, coming up with a plan to make those thoughts true for your life.
So, choose your self-talk very carefully, because your sub-conscious brain takes whatever you send it as real.
You cannot just say
"Don't listen when I say, "I'm fat"
just the same way you can't tell your brain, "Don't read this!"

Do you have a noisy class? Is side-talk driving you crazy?
The inspiration for this idea came out of desperation when I had 28 boys and 2 girls in my 6th period class!
Nothing I tried worked
(and I have 20+ years of teaching experience!!)
BUT THIS SYSTEM WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!
It works by giving students bookwork after several warnings if they can’t stop side-talking.
They get warnings before they have “bookwork”
so you never lose your cool-No more nagging,
and students will self-manage!

FREE IDEA:
Organization Idea FREE!: "Why Didn't I Think of This Years Ago?" Board Notes
This is one of the tricks
that I just couldn't live without!!
You’d think since I taught a lesson five times the previous day I’d remember it when an absent student asks me what we did, but I always seem to forget to give them something!!!
Now, I just look on my board and go through
the days with them. Post homework, assignments that are turned in, etc.

FREE IDEA:
THIS ORGANIZATION TIP HELPS SO MUCH!!

-Dump on a front desk and students grab as they enter
