April is National Stress Awareness Month


It is very difficult to get away from stress in our lives. Not only adults but teens and children carry stress with them as well. There are both positive and negative stressors in each of our lives. An example of positive stress would be marriage or taking on a new challenge, such as going to college. These are exciting times in our lives however; it can result in added stress. There are also negative stressors that we need to deal with, such as giving a speech in front of a group of people or taking the SATs. Stressors are always around us, because of this you should be asking yourself: “Do I handle my stress in a positive way?”

The American Institute of Stress offers some stress tips, check out their link below

Trash- Can Ball


Trash-Can Ball

Trash-Can Ball is a really fun fast paced game. During this game students will be working on their throwing and catching skills while engaging in a high cardio activity at the same time. Check out the link below to see an example of the game in action. I will be modifying some of the rules to meet the needs of all my students. I know my classes are going to love this activity.
