Casey, it is always a good habit to annotate your list and link entries. Not necessarily lengthy annotations, but a phrase or a sentence often helps the reader get a deeper understanding.
ReplyDeleteCasey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this list! I love to incorporate physical activity in my classroom. One example is that everyday we have a "dance off". Some days it will happen around the same time, other days it will be at random and it's only for a minute. But I believe it's critical that students get up and move around. And the students love it! I am so thankful for PE teachers and education :)
