"The lessons are thoughtfully planned and align perfectly with the expectations I already had in my gym. The Spanish slides have been a game-changer for our Dual Language Immersion students. I led a whole discussion in Spanish about class rules, and my fifth graders used the sentence frames to respond thoughtfully before translating for me. I love how the turn-and-talks, learning targets, and language objectives bring real academic rigor into PE. Our whole district's PE staff is now doing a book study on Distinguished Physical Education, and it's already making a real impact on how we teach and how our students engage."

"As a first-year PE teacher, this curriculum has been a lifesaver! I printed the first three units and made myself a curriculum binder. I love that the standards, content and language objectives are all written out, and how the intro activities connect directly to the lesson. Having multiple activity options each day gives me flexibility, even with my 30-minute classes, and the mindfulness activities at the end are perfect for getting kids calmed down before they head back to class. It's clear a lot of thought went into every detail, and I'm excited to keep using it all year!"
