5-Boomer Friday

The latest from PE Teacher and author

​David Carney​

PE Nation,

I want to let you know about the new format my newsletter will be taking on soon. I used to do a "5-Boomer Friday" on my podcast a while back (and I still might), so I decided to bring it to written form every other Friday to bring you as much value as possible. Here's how it will look. I will choose 5 things to discuss in each section.

1-A tip, game or strategy for teaching

2-A Book I'm reading or a quote I came across

3-A podcast or documentary I think is amazing

4-An awesome thing I've seen or heard or a current obsession of mine

5-A question to ponder or respond to

I'd love it if you came along with me for the ride!

​

P.S. Full disclosure: I do not make any money by discussing the products in this email. I'm simply sharing what I'm enjoying at the moment.

​

1-Teaching Strategies

In this episode I describe my process in organizing large groups of students outside in the (usually) heat of Florida. I discuss signals, music, procedures, games and stations. Hopefully you'll find a few new ideas for your PE program.

2-Book I'm reading

After listening to the first book in the series "Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone" by Benjamin Stephenson, which is sort of a cheeky, humorous-at-times mystery, I'm reading (yes, an actual hardcover) the sequel, "Everyone on This Train is a Suspect". They are both entertaining and keep you on your toes!

​

3-Documentary to check out

I love the Tour de France! I used to watch it while Lance Armstrong was dominating in the late 90's and early 2000's until he admitted to cheating. I took over 10 years to get back into it and now I'm hooked yet again. The constant from Lance to now: Mark Cavendish. He's a sprinter that came back from injuries, doubters and suicidal thoughts to win his 35th stage this year-an all-time record!

4-Awesome thing I seen

I've always been a fan of Kobe Bryant and was devastated, like millions of people when he, his daughter and their friends tragically were killed in a helicopter crash. Here he is as a teenager at a slam-dunk competition. Enjoy!

5-Questions to ponder

I hope your summer is going well (if you're on break like me). I'd love to hear what your plans are for the next school year. I have 3 questions for you.

I hope you've enjoyed this 5-Boomer Friday. Let me know how I can make it more beneficial for you in the future.

5-Boomer Friday The latest from PE Teacher and author David Carney Greetings PE Nation, I hope you are doing well. The Florida weather has given us some consistency problems, especially with kindergarten. We're off the entire week putting up shutters and preparing for the worst (hoping and praying for the best). Growing up in Buffalo, NY, we had serious snow days, but this is crazy! Be sure to check out my new and older podcast episodes, including gamification, large group strategies,...

5-Boomer Friday!!!

5-Boomer Friday The latest from PE Teacher and author David Carney Greetings PE Nation, I hope you are doing well. The heat index in Florida has been absolutely hurting demolishing my plans for my students. We can't be outside when it hits 104 degrees, which is almost every day. That means a lot of inside instruction for my 3rd grade and kindergarten classes. That means either in the media center or inside their classrooms. It's not a great situation, but we make the best of it for our...
