PHYSICAL EDUCATION CONTRACT
Show off your consistent energy, effort and enthusiasm! You might prefer some activities over others but maintain a positive attitude and attention to instructions. Be a risk taker!
Come prepared with proper gym attire! Make sure your laces are tied and any water bottles are placed on the edge of the stage.
Safety is a must! Be aware of boundaries and walls in particular! If you are asked to sit on the stage, hold the railing while going up and down. Sit safely and don't run about! Never enter the gym without teacher supervision
If an injury occurs to you or a classmate, immediately notify me! All play stops. Show concern for your fellow classmates by pulling back and sitting in your squad order while waiting for me to assess and tend to the injury. Do not attempt to touch or move an injured player.
Remember the "shark moat/tank" term! The shark moat is the grey area encircling the rectangular playing area where you need to slow down your bodies to ensure that you do not bump into the walls/benches.
Be respectful of classmates' abilities. Be patient and be willing to help out/model rather than the alternative! Be cognizant of the differences between skill building activities/warm ups versus actual game competition.

ENTRY ROUTINES
Upon entry into the gym, students sit silently on the black line. Once the entire class is accounted for, students are permitted to complete their dynamic "1-2-3” warm-up.
1) Jog to the far black line and jog back
2) Shuffle step to the far black line and jog back
3)Karaoke step to the far black line and jog back

TEACHER ROUTINES
I run gym using the 1-2-3-4 whistle system.
1 blow=Freeze in place
2 blows=Freeze and sit down in place (with no equipment in hand)
3 blows=Return to their squad comes and sit in order silently
4 blows=Line up silently in alphabetical order by the door
Whistle trill=Sit silently in front of wherever I'm standing
I often refer to the grey area surrounding the gym playing surface as the "shark moat". The grey area is a play area where they need to slow down their bodies to ensure that they do not bump into the walls..
Teachers are solely responsible for the distribution and returning of equipment. Students may assist in bringing equipment to the gym storage closet but are not permitted inside.

GYM BIN (WASHROOM/WATER ROUTINES)
The Star of the Day brings the Gym Bin to the gym. Inside of the bin is an emergency clipboard, washroom cones and our squad cones. No more than 2 students are permitted out of the gym for bathroom/water purposes. Students must ask a teacher for permission and the washroom cones must be taken out of the bin and placed on the bench as a visual cue that someone is out at the moment. Obviously the cone must be replaced onto the bench or within the bin upon return.
LESSON TAKEAWAYS
Work as a team!
You might want to assign a leader!
Be body aware! If you bump into someone, stop what you are doing and sincerely say sorry and see if anything needs to be done to assist!

FULL BODY STATIC STRETCH ROUTINE
DYNAMIC WARM UPS
The following videos are examples of dynamic warm up moves and/or routines. Rather than standing in one spot and isolating one muscle group and stretching and preparing it for exercise, one can accomplish that across a variety of muscle groups while moving! Can you develop a 5+ stage/move dynamic warm up routine?

MEDITATION THROUGH MOVEMENT/FLOW MEDITATION
As you know, I'm a huge proponent of "Meditation through Movement"/"Flow Meditation". Former baseball player Shawn Green wrote a transformative book about his experience with athletic meditation entitled: "Finding Stillness at 95 MPH" and has subsequently gone on to present his learnings at various Ted Talks:

My SOLO athletic/meditative pursuits have served me so well over the years and in particular during the Covid 19 crisis.
Prior to its current format, The Playground Legends Project (theplaygroundlegends.weebly.com) was a school club that promoted the principals of "Meditation through Movement". Click on the file below to check out the values of our club and how our sessions worked:

Students are asked to pick an activity that they can do by themselves, silently, and with little equipment and supervision that will drain their body and mind SO much that they will have no more energy left to use on feeling stressed, worried, or upset.
Reflect:
What in your mind is the most ideal/simple athletic pursuit for you that you could do repetitively and get lost in and be trusted to do by yourself whenever you felt angry or stressed?
Are you currently able to pursue that ideal physical and meditative pursuit? If not, have you been able to modify your pursuit of that practice in the space you have?
Do you find yourself happier over time having gotten used to the limitations of this pandemic or have you found yourself getting more antsy and frustrated?

PUSH UP/SQUAT CHALLENGE
I love challenges! I welcome you to join me on this journey. I have always taken the philosophical approach of "stacking a penny" every day. Your body shape and overall strength cannot change over night. If one incorporates a bit of strength training every day, incremental progress stacks together resulting in significant growth over time!
I intend on slowly integrating Push Ups and Hindu Squats into my home workout routine. Every day, I intend on "stacking a penny" and gaining momentum. Check out the following videos and document with instructions!
