A community puppet show that brought kids together to teach the importance of how beauty comes from within.
Students learned and practiced their volleyball skills diligently all unit. As a result we’ve been having some fierce volleyball competition to culminate the end of our unit with a record 15 hit volley.
Students hit the weights (free weights and machines) to improve their personal fitness. Additionally, they are also learning about muscle groups and making healthy decisions.
Volleyball picture/story boards created to help students learn and hone their skills!
One of my students received a drawing from my daughter that he requested for a job well done to demonstrate how proud everyone is of his improved responsibility and diligence with changing his clothes for physical education in a timely fashion.
A new social skill introduced for marking period 4: Students are encouraged to work hard in order to give their Best Effort!
An outstanding one-day conference for area Physical Educators and Health professionals to collaborate and participate in a wonderful professional development. 
I had the distinct pleasure of attending and sitting in the front row of the Wrestling Event with some of my EF students including the all time biggest wrestling fan – Abdul!!
I arranged for Brian Rooke, former Edsel Ford student and current Henry Ford College student to present to my students at EF about life after high school. Brian offered a power point presentation that he developed and then candidly answered questions from students that subsequently developed as well as questions that students had prepared ahead of time as part of one of their assignments. Some of the major topics discussed all centering around the theme of responsibility were: what is college like (how is it different than high school)?, living on your own and paying bills, and expanding your interests and horizons to grow as an individual. It was a great experience for all!
