"HOME-STYLE" EQUIPMENT



 HOME-STYLE

EQUIPMENT

I remember back in the day for my PE classes at ZCS (8th grade Class of 1989!) that we had a ton of "home made" equipment that we used. Whether my teacher Mr. DeJonge was handy or just frugal, I'm not sure. 😉 Either way, these pieces of equipment did the job.

In case you're looking for some ideas to use from your own home supplies, here are a few:

EASY TARGETS - use for throwing, kicking, tossing, bowling, etc.
- cereal boxes
- water bottles
- used toilet paper cardboard rolls
- shoe boxes
 
EASY SPORT EQUIPMENT
- coffee can lid (or similar) as frisbees
- balloons (great for striking)
- jump ropes
- cut out the bottom of plastic milk or laundry bottles as "catchers"  example here 
- larger Amazon boxes (I know you now have them!) as hurdles
- socks filled with tennis balls (or anything!) for tossing
- bed sheet as parachute
- hand weights (sand filled anything, large food cans, milk containers, etc.)

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CRAFT THAT BECOMES AN ACTIVITY!

DISTANCE LEARNING "P.E. STYLE" INTRO

DISTANCE LEARNING “P.E. STYLE” Hi everyone! This is quite the unexpected way to be "doing" PE to say the least! If you are like me, you might be saying something like "Hey, we can easily find ways to stay active for at least 60 minutes a day!" or "We've already included a physical activity/exercise time into our new daily routine." or "Oh no, is this just one more paper we need to file, email, or keep track of until this is over!?"😊 NEVER FEAR! At this point, there will be no reporting (again, at this point. That could change...) This is a new way of teaching for me just like its a new way of learning for your families. We're in this together and I'm sure we'll be evolving and adjusting together! I'm sure many of you have already been busy with daily activity inside or outdoors - hopefully the temperatures will start to climb so that will be able to continue! While most of us can find ways to stay on top of re...

LET'S START THE SCHOOL YEAR!

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...
