Stillness: To remain in a calm position, without movement. I looked like a statue with my stillness.

Jogging vs. Running: To run at a slow, steady pace vs. To move quickly. I decided to jog instead of run during Red Light, Green Light so I could freeze on time.

Introduction

Begin class with a warm up procedure: ● Prepare students with daily expectations before entering the gym OR on Home Base. ● Warm up procedure may include several laps around the gym, stretching routine, or another quick, movement based activity. ● Back at Home Base, review rules/expectations of the school and PE/Playworks with explicit examples when appropriate. How will we be safe/kind/responsible in PE today? ● Review any other specifc reminders needed for the day. Before releasing students for the frst game, use a Sequence Touch to get them to the location you need them to be for the frst activity.
