In recent years, I have been independently motivated to improve my physical well being. I played lots of sports growing up but after graduating high school it was all up to me to keep up my fitness. I enjoy going for walks or runs to the beach and doing yoga in the mornings or before bed. I tried a kickboxing class and loved it and would consider trying other fitness classes when it is safe to do so again. I used to the gym regularly with friends before Covid, but now for safety reasons I stick to at home workouts or getting outside for exercise. In my EPHE 310 and 311 courses I learned about the importance of getting kids active in their Physical Education (PE) blocks at school. From what I know, most schools have a PE specialist in my area but if I were to teach PE, I would feel prepared and well equipped. Outside of the PE block time, I have also learned about the importance of brain breaks or movement breaks to increase engagement levels in the classroom during work periods. Kids are and need to be active as they have a lot of energy. I want my classroom to be a place of learning but I also want my students to have fun and work kinaesthetically as well. Something I observed in my Wednesday visits last year was little exercise breaks in the classroom as well as morning meditation or yoga. These are ways to regulate the energy in the room that I hope to put into practice as a teacher.
