Hello everyone,
I want to give a huge Thank You to all the new people who have become fans of the Montessori Physical Education Facebook page! We are now well over 1300 fans and 1400 followers. and I am thankful and humbled by all your interest. A lot of people jumped aboard recently after reading about Roman Gladiators and how to create a “Gladiator School” in your PE class. In a recent all-staff meeting at my school, I got a personal shout out by one of our upper elementary teachers because her students loved the gladiator school and it inspired them to do more research in the classroom.
Speaking of my school, a couple weeks ago we had to take two of our pods remote due to possible Covid exposure. It added another wrinkle to planning and implementing lessons, but the system worked as intended by allowing the majority of the school to still be in person. While we face realities like pod shutdowns and Covid strain variants, some good news to share is that I received my first dose of the vaccine several weeks ago and I receive the second dose next Tuesday! I’m also glad to hear the additional research on double masking efforts seem to be incredibly effective. This may enable a little more in person instruction in the gym for me, which would be wonderful. However, our school has proceeded with an abundance of caution, so I will keep my anticipation lowered for now.
Understanding the additional difficulties of this year, as well as wanting to thank all of you for hitting 1300 fans, I am throwing a sale not only on the website store, but also at my Teachers Pay Teachers store as well. At the TpT store, you can buy lessons a la carte, and that is where you can find the Gladiator School lessons for now. The sale on Teachers Pay Teachers will be 20% off the entire store from Saturday to Tuesday (I wish I could do more, but that is the constraint of the website).
The Montessori Physical Education website store will be 25% off the lowest prices you can find on all the volumes, as well as some bundled lessons as well. The best value is to purchase Montessori Volumes I, II, and III all together, which contains all the individual bundles and lessons available through the store.
Again, thank you everyone for the love I have been receiving on social media.
