Re: Parent Night

That's a great idea. We have also done it in the past where we have the gym set up into 8-12 fitness stations, and as the parents and kids come in, they can participate. The kids usually jump right in and drag their parents along the whole time. It's quite funny.

Re: Parent Night

We created a powerpoint for our back to school night. It works really well and allows parents to see our expectations and units as we talk about them. It is a great resource for a very informational night.

Re: Parent Night

For our Parent Nights I generally design a PowerPoint with basic information about the class. I include a rough schedule of the year's (or semester) plan. I also make sure to provide my contact details for parents in case they need to get in touch with me. I usually throw in some interesting PE facts as well, and some fun facts about me!

Re: Parent Night

We have a very similar parent night. We have a power point presentation that goes through our curriculum and expectations. We also have our fitness center open for parents to go through.

Re: Parent Night

In addition to running a power point of activities that we do throughout the year I have also thought about setting up stations consisting of the fitness tests that we perform in class for parents to attempt. I think it would be fun for parents to attempt some of the tests their children do to see how they perform. I think it might lead to enhanced motivation from the students when they take them and can lead to discussions at home pertaining to health/physical fitness.
