  GREAT START TO P.E. It was a fantastic beginning of the school year in Phys. Ed. - although a very WARM one! This week ahead looks to be a little cooler (an answer to prayer for the PE teacher😅). The kids were great with the new outdoor "set up" for class and I'm still adjusting sometimes as we go to make it work best for everyone.   This week the elementary classes will continue to participate in spacial awareness activities: what and who is in this space? how are others moving in this space? what is the safest way to be moving in this space? Middle school classes will continue working on their soccer skills. Here's to another great week ahead!

WELCOME TO PYSICAL EDUCATION ZEELAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL 2020-2021 MS. MILLER Happy beginning of the school year everyone! It feels like I haven't seen you since forever ago! I hope everyone had a great (albeit a different type of) summer! I'm looking forward to this school year for a lot of different reasons, but the biggest reason of all is to get to work with the best students in the world in grades Kindergarten all the way to 8th!!  Some things will be different this year for PE class. Here are a few: PE will be outside and down the hill as long as the weather permits (pray for comfortable weather!). If it's raining, too cold, etc. we will meet in the gym and participate in our classes safely. Since we are outside, please wear shoes that can get a little wet, dirty, etc. Middle school students do not need to change into "PE clothes" at this time so dress accordingly for activity (note the info on shoes mentioned above...) Middle school students bring masks just i

WELLNESS BINGO! Hi everyone! The following link is to a "Wellness BINGO" game that I love since it doesn't just address physical health but also mental and social health too! (I sure could use these simple activities lately too!)   Ignore the April date at the top and no need to fill out the questions afterwards (if you don't want to) - just enjoy some great ideas to put into practice!  Hope you are all doing great! Wish I could be spending time with you in the ZCS gym instead of over the internet!! WELLNESS BINGO  

SCAVENGER HUNTS I've done a couple of scavenger hunts with my own kids ("What up Mags and Lina!" - they'll love that btw!") Maybe you have already done some too! But if you're looking for additional suggestions - inside and outside the house - check out the links below! Today's weather (Tuesday) was sooooo awesome! I mowed my grass (finally!), pulled some weeds, kicked a soccer ball around a while, and we joined my nieces on their TikTok challenge to walk a marathon - not the whole thing but approximately 2 miles!! I hope good weather comes back soon to stay so we can keep getting outside for physical activities!!

Hi everyone! I had a great meeting (via Zoom of course!) with other local PE teachers yesterday and was introduced to... SWORKIT It's a really cool website that you can get for free that has workouts that you can choose from based on difficulty, age, activity, etc.  Check it out if you're looking for more or new ways to stay active at home while we're away from eachother! As always, I miss you all and hope you're doing well!
