Monday, March 23:
Good morning and welcome to online learning! Hopefully you have all had a restful March break! The way Phys. Ed. will run for the coming weeks is a little different than regular school hours. We will have a “live” time online on Mondays from 10:20-11 in my Phys. Ed. Discord channel. Here I will share expectations and requirements for the week and answer any questions students may have. There are two requirements for the students to complete throughout the week. These requirements include some physical activity and a health activity.
For the physical portion, each morning on Discord and on the classroom blog I will post a physical activity challenge. It will be something simple and I will do my best to show the students exactly what I want them to do. Students will need to record themselves completing the challenge and send it to me either on Discord or by email (if they have a YouTube channel they can upload it to YouTube and send me the link). To go along with this challenge I have also attached a tracker for students to keep track of their physical activity. Students are expected to be active for at least 30 minutes a day. This can be done at separate times throughout the day or all at once. The activity challenge I post can be a part of it but it will not be long enough to cover the full 30 minutes, so students will need to choose their own activity to fill the rest of their time. Once they record their activity on the calendar it will need to be signed by a parent or guardian. At the end of the week students will take a picture or scan a copy of their completed weekly calendar with signatures, and send it to me by email to prove they have been active every day! So go out and be active, but remember to continue practicing your social distancing and healthy habits!
Todays Physical Activity Challenge: 5 Minute Set Challenge
- Your challenge for today is to do as many sets as you can in 5 minutes. A set includes 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups, and 5 squats. Set a timer for 5 minutes and then start! Do 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups, 5 squats (that’s 1 set) and start over with 5 push-ups. Continue until your timer is up. Don’t forget to record it and send it to me with your total number of sets done! Check out our Phys. Ed. Discord channel for my video and see how your classmates did!

For the Health portion, students will be given a task on Monday that needs to be worked on throughout the week and submitted on Friday. I will explain the task, work through questions and give examples during my live online time in my Discord classroom on Mondays from 10:20-11. I will also be available anytime from 9-3:45 on both Discord or by email to answer any questions students have or to give support. I will give reminders about these tasks daily on the classroom morning blog and on Discord, and I will be sharing my experiences through this time as well. Our first weekly health task is outlined below. I will give further details on Monday during our “class time”.
Todays learning goal: Students will demonstrate an understanding of what healthy eating looks like outside the school environment.
- Our goal this week is to try to prepare and eat healthy foods. It is important that we continue to eat healthy and stay active to maintain our overall health. Your job this week is to come up with 3 healthy snacks and 1 healthy meal that you can eat at your house. Snacks can be as simple as a

bowl of fruit, or something you actually have to make. Throughout the week you will need to send me pictures of your healthy snacks that you are making and eating. You will also need to work with your parents to help make a healthy meal. This could be breakfast, lunch or dinner, but it has to be healthy and it has to be homemade. Once you have made your meal, send me a picture with a description of what it is and how it is healthy. Keep in mind that when cooking you should always have a parent around to help out and make sure everything is safe!
