Helped lead a warm-up in which the students completed a 4-minute #tabata getting their heart rates up and warming up their muscles in preparation for a full period cardio and strength training activity.

Excited to announce that I’ve earned my OPEN Certified Teacher certification

Thanks to OPEN Phys Ed. for providing such a great opportunity and an awesome resource to continue to grow as a health and physical education professional

YES!!!

After finding out about Benji Ball I wanted this so badly. Now thanks to NNPS HPE Dept., I now have a set for my students.

I took it home and had my 4 year old test it out and he was instantly hooked!

Can’t wait to play with it in #PhysEd

Honored to have been selected to instruct another round of professional development for the high school HPE teachers with Newport News Public Schools.

We focused on 🥏 activities while in the Levers, Force, Motion, and Rotation Unit of PE1

When it’s too 🥶 to go outside to play #kubb so you make it safe inside to play

Man, that’s a lot of mats!

Had the pleasure of attending a “winter refresh” PD opportunity with WJCC school’s at Toano Middle School two weeks ago.

Big shout out to Ron Trainum (WJCC), Jen Barnes (PCPS), and Kori Fielding (WJCC) for providing some awesome content to bring back to my students

Bring in the pool noodles‼️

Yesterday I taught my students proper form for variety of strength training exercises. The noodles were a great resource to use in their case.

Had the pleasure of jumping in with a student in my IPE class to help him complete the “You Go, I Go” AMRAP workout.

Heart rate up ✅
Body temperature up ✅
Muscles loose ✅

Thanks to VBCPS’ Roberta Guimond for showing me at the ‘24 VAHPERD conference.

The “Hula Hoop Workout” was a great way to get my kids moving and utilize a piece of equipment that HS doesn’t get to use that often.

You.fo sports introduced themselves to us HPE teachers in VA at the ‘24 VAHPERD convention.

Thanks to @GielBos on teaching us the game and hooking my son and I up with a set to take home. We’re absolutely loving it!

Check out this new sport (to us Americans.)

This is my oldest’s 4th HPE conference (2 VAHPERD, and 2 HPAI) and my youngest’s 2nd (1 VAHPERD, 1 HPAI). Looking forward to many more.

It’s also amazing to see them participate and interact with my fellow Health & Physical Education teachers who are encouraging and engaging.

Thank you to all of you who throw the ball with them, send them home with goodies, or who are just genuinely kind and supportive to them.

You know what’s really cool? 😎

Not only was I honored to present at the 2024 Virginia AHPERD convention this year, but family got to tag along on Sunday and watch.

It’s amazing to have my two boys 👦👦 watch me present and have a little insight into what I do daily.

Had the pleasure and honor to be a first time presenter at the Virginia AHPERD convention this past weekend

I presented the Swedish lawn game, “Kubb.”

I’ve been going for almost a decade now and finally mustered up the courage to present. Can’t wait to go back and do it again

#PhysEd #kubb

Once again, thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Vieginia AHPERD conference this past weekend.

Thank you to Jen Mulrine and NNPSHPE for sending me along with some amazing colleagues.

If you’re a Health & PE teacher, you NEED to sign up and become a member.
