A8- The reality of PE is movement can cause injuries. I try to explain to a student that I’m ultimately trying to help them avoid getting hurt. Following directions, procedures, expectations is about safety. #iahperdchat

A7. 10K steps by 10:00am usually. Constant movement to monitor for safety and engagement. #iahperdchat

A6- Rather than use the terms effort and participation I simply say: “Try.” Elementary kiddos may be experiencing a skill for the 1st time. Learning takes time… trying naturally requires effort and participation …and also some patience. #iahperdchat

A5. Without a doubt I don’t praise students enough. I focus on highlighting behaviors that meet our school theme. #iahperdchat

A4. “When the music stops…your equipment drops.” One giant step away. Often I bring the littles close but scattered works too. #iahperdchat

A3- I may have a bit of an obsession creating AI GIF’s and videos reinforcing procedures. #iahperdchat

A2- Great question with infinite answers. Had a kiddo get hands on with another student recently and made for a tense moment. I asked to be his partner during a quick activity the next lesson. Clean slate achieved. #iahperdchat

A1- Greeting and inviting students into the learning space sets the tone of the lesson. A quick conversation with the homeroom teacher dropping them off sure helps too. #iahperdchat

A0- Daniel from Lexington KY. Big fan of this moderator! #iahperdchat
