I often get asked why I always have a stuffed animal in my #AdaptedPE bucket, right now a white seal named "Sealy".
Sealy can help with:
1. Emotional support, ex. "Sealy will do it with you"
2. An engaging object to catch/throw
3. A 3rd voice during check-ins or player in tag

In my lessons why I refer to my schedule for a student/class as "my/our journey".
I feel a schedule is something you must adhere to, such as dismissal must take place at 3:00pm
A journey is something you go on together and adjust as needed throughout to reach an outcome.

Saw this student in the cafeteria today and he said
"I ♥️ my remote control"
"I ♥️ my remote control"
#AdaptedPE student’s automatic chair wasn’t working & his aide was pushing him around for evasion activities, making him a passive participant.
I made a quick paper remote control so the 👨🎓 can tell the aide where to push him.
👨🎓 and aide both agreed it was a big improvement

An #AdaptedPE 👨🎓 wanted an increased 🤚 dribbling challenge so we worked on dribbling, securing the 🏀 , and then moving his 🦽 forward.
He advanced through levels of challenge until he was traveling through a course trying to improve his performance. From 45 to 31 sec. so proud!

This is great!
Visuals are so powerful for students but I've had the issue that at times they can be a distraction too if using pictures of myself, a cartoon character, even random people as the questions start almost immediately about "who is that?"

1st ever lesson w/ an #AdaptedPE 👩🎓 & for the debrief 👩🎓 asked:
"What's you greatest fear?"
She quickly shared hers was🤡. A hospital🤡 came into her room once & scared her.
A debrief isn't only about reflecting on the objective. It's about making space for student voice too.

#AdaptedPE 👨🎓 was using his manual chair w/ consistent light turns of the wheels.
Increasing the need for speed w/ timed work intervals & verbal prompting were not having an impact.
Bring on the blue tape to mark where to reach for each push & the results were almost instant!
