This school year has been great so far! I spent our first three PE units on maternity leave and had an amazing sub in my place, Mrs. Rosenlof. She taught our soccer, basketball, and jump rope unit. She did an amazing job and I know the kids really enjoyed learning from her. 

 

Something I love to do is encourage families to exercise together at home. I only get to see your students 1 week/month. This is not enough time for them to get plenty of healthy exercise and activity. Some activities me and my family LOVE: pickleball, walking, and hiking. It is so important to model health for your children so that they understand the importance of it. I always tell them to work hard even during the units that they do not love because it is so important to move your body! 

 

Additionally, I always start PE for all grade levels with a tag game (15 minutes of class). It is my favorite way to get those kids moving at the start of class. I see high levels of engagement and most students do not even realize how much they are exercising during that time. I make it my goal to see students exercise as much as possible during the 45 minutes that I see them in class. Of course we also work deeply on improving skills within each individual unit, as well. 

 

Here is a breakdown of each unit for the 2025-2026 school year:

 

Unit 1: Soccer 

Unit 2: Basketball

Unit 3: Jump Rope

Unit 4: Catching/Throwing

Unit 5: Volleyball

Unit 7: Speed Stacking

Unit 8: Whiffle Ball
