This blog offers lots of information on what students are doing for the entire year. I think this is a great source of ideas for physical education located somewhere else. The specific blog post that I liked was the one about the mile club. I think walking is a great for students to enjoy for the rest of their life.

Sport Specific

Spark has just about everything on their site. I can search any activity that I want to do in class. There ideas and things you can incorporate into the normal school days. This site has only been around for 2 years, but it kept update often.

This is from an elementary school, the physical education teacher keeps it updated. I like that he separates this into specific grade levels. This is could be used for any activity that I would like to do. My students would be able to follow what they are doing in class compared to what other students are doing in other school.

I feel I could use each one of these blogs for ideas, thoughts or knowledge. Each one has its on unique features.

After looking at many blogs and learning more about them I feel I could use them in my class. I would like to update parents on a weekly basis with the activities their child has done in my class. I know this would take a lot of time when I am first starting out but I feel that it could help me in the future. I would have something that I could look back at and know when I did that specific activity. I am not sure how else I could use it, but this is one way that I would like to use.

ME 2011

My name is Theresa Michalski. I am a fifth year student at University of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, majoring in Physical Education with a minor in Adapted Physical Education. I am so excited to be graduating in December 2011.

My hometown is Cudahy, WI. I come from a family of 3 kids. I am the middle child. My sister is 1 year older than I am and my brother is 2 years younger than me.

Majority of my extended family lives in Wisconsin. I have several relatives outside of Wisconsin in Ohio, Virginia, Texas, and Florida. I have 36 first cousins and 6 first cousins once removed. We range from 34 to 5 years old. I have both grandparents on my mom’s side, who live about ten minutes away from our house. My dad’s mom lives about three minutes away. In May 2009, my Grandpa Ted past away. This was extremely hard on my family, since he was the first grandparent to go. We miss him greatly and feel he is in better place because he doesn’t have to be sick anymore.

I graduated from Cudahy High School in 2006. In high school I was very active in sports. I played volleyball, basketball and softball. Also was a wrestling manager for the team. I was also an active band member in both marching and concert band. My senior year I was student athletic trainer for football and soccer teams. I was very active in all my classes and loved every minute of school. My senior year, I received 2 scholarships and 1 award. I received one scholarship from the football team and the top amount from Cudahy Lions Club. My award was for Scholar Athlete from the Marines.

I feel I have many hobbies. One of my favorite hobbies is scrap booking. I love looking at pictures that I have take and making them into memories of the past. I enjoy taking pictures. Any where I go I always have a camera. I also collect anything with frogs. I used to have frogs until they all died, waiting to finish school to get more.

College is a road trip. I have been very active in my major. I am President of HPER Club this year. In this club we plan events and attend conferences to broaden our knowledge of the field and become better teachers.
