Lesson 21: Summer Goals (6/1/2020)
Lesson 21: Summer Goals (6/1/2020)
Happy Friday!
I hope you're all doing well and excited for the weekend. With school wrapping up next week, I want you to remember that one of our most important goals is that you are taking care of yourself, staying physically active, and living a healthy life. The choices you make toward this goal are some of the most important choices you can make to set yourself up for a happy and healthy life.
So, what choices can you make to meet this goal, especially when your "on your own" over the summer? You can choose activities that bring you joy, challenge, or excitement! You can set a workout schedule with goals to hold yourself accountable for your progress. You can even just relax in your backyard and appreciate the fact that you can wake up every day and take charge of your health, physical activity, and happiness.
I hope you've learned some of these things along the way and take to heart how important it is to exercise, play, and enjoy your movement. If you ever need help finding your way towards these goals, just reach out to me and I'll do whatever I can to help.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends!

Lesson 17: What does your well-being mean to you? (5/26/2020)
Hello wonderful PE people!
With the weather improving, there's never been a better time to get outside and do something to benefit your well-being! Being physically active is a lot of fun and it has helped me get through the challenges I face by being home and not at school. Your well-being sums up how your doing on physically, mentally, and emotionally. All three of these things are important to living a healthy and happy life.
I have just begun at 30 Day Yoga Challenge through Darebee! Rather than following video instructors, this challenge just uses images (like other Darebee workouts) to get me through the routine and lets me go at my own pace. If you want to up your physical, mental, and emotional well being, give it a shot!

Hello, folks!
I hope you're doing well and figuring out how to be successful while at home. My topic for today's lesson is stress and stress relief.

One of our biggest goals is for you to be physically active so you can live a healthy life and take on whatever challenges come your way. Your physical activity will look different while at home, but it is no less important than our time together in PE
Why are you expected to be physically active?... being physically active boosts your mood, gives you increased energy, relieves stress, and so much more! The PE Activity Log is going to help you analyze your physical activity and put a little extra meaning behind it.
