KEEPING KIDS SAFE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION ( adapted from the S & S Blog)
SPACE
Selecting and preparing the instructional space for every student will allow for appropriate social distancing.The best planning will make things safer, so students know what to do and can continue to find PE as the fun and educational class it was before pandemic.
EQUIPMENT
Limiting equipment usage as much as possible, and when it is used, using disinfectant to keep germs at bay.
RESILIENT
PE teaches the important values of teamwork, cooperation, and problem-solving. Using this pandemic to teach resiliency is so important as we show our students how to overcome adversity and the hurdles in life with optimism and enthusiasm.
