in Physical Education This year I will trying something new with my 3rd through 5th grade classes. It is a strategy called Flipping the Classroom. It will required some online work for the students but, don't worry, it won't take too much time to complete. Basically the students will watch a short video or powerpoint presentation, then answer a short quiz or a discussion question. We will be using a program called schoology to complete these assignments. This program is basically a "Facebook" for education. Students will be able to discuss class topics with myself as well as other students. I will also try to create a group for my students parents so that we will have a more direct method of communication. My hope with this strategy is to increase the time students spend being physically active, which of course will help improve their fitness level. I encourage all parents to leave comments on this new strategy and help me find ways to get our students moving! 4th Grade Pedometer Data Collection
