How will I use this blog in my classroom? Well, considering I teach elementary physical education I will have to be pretty creative as to how this blog could be utilized in my classroom. Many of my students do not have access to the internet at home. Those that do however, could benefit from having class assignments posted, rules and expectations and a list of activities and reminders for the upcoming weeks. I also think that posting nutritional facts and healthy eating habits could benefit my students. Parents could have the opportunity to post healthy recipes and provide several fun activities to do with their children. I also feel that students could post their work and ask me questions based on topics that were covered in class and ideas and thoughts about weeks to come.
Overall, I think that blogging can be incorporated into elementary physical education. I will probably use this more for my fourth and fifth graders as far as a conversational area. However, this blog could certainly serve as a link between all parents, grades K-5, to discuss important matters relating to their students health, activity level and nutrition.

Introduction
Hello,
My name is Rachael Grob and I am currently teaching elementary physical education at a school located in Baltimore County Maryland. I have been at the same school for seven years now and truly enjoy working with all of my 600 children.
I completed my undergraduate career at Towson University with a degree in Teacher Education as well as Sports Medicine. I was not sure that teaching was going to be my chosen profession until I began my student teaching. Once I was able to interact with the children and provide them with meaningful opportunities I was truly hooked on education. I was fortunate enough to long term sub at the conclusion of my student teaching and was later hired by the same school.
I created this blog as part of an assignment for my graduate class but now understand that this will be an excellent learning tool for me to utilize in the future. I look forward to your questions, comments and daily interactions with this blog.
