Great Resource for New and Seasoned PE Teachers Thank you, thank you for taking the time to organize and write a book that is so easy to use immediately. Since receiving the resource, I have been able to pull lessons that complement the units I teach and the kids have loved the new, fresh ideas. The well thought out organization of the TEKS is super helpful, as it takes time away from me trying to figure out how to weave them all into my daily and weekly objectives. Especially for new teachers, this book would be good as gold!! As PE teachers, our district does not have a set curriculum for guidance, so this resource was very much needed.

A Wonderful Addition to Elementary PE curriculum! This book has been a great addition to my PE lesson planning so far this year. I have taught PE for 11 years and since buying this book a few months ago I have already added many new ideas, lessons, and games to my program. It is easy to navigate and refer to when planning PE lesson plans! I love the organization of this book. It is broken down by grade level activities and TEKS. I also love the games section in the back of the book! The directions on how to play games are written detailed enough to understand without taking too long to go through. If you are a new PE teacher this book will be a life saver! My student teacher is using it and she has said it is a HUGE help!

Lesson Plans for Elementary PE What a great book that is easy to navigate and help with PE lesson plans! I have used this book over and over since the beginning of the year to help with added ideas and resources and to help make sure I am covering the new TEKS. It is so well broken down by grade level activities and TEKS. The directions on how to play all the games are very well written and easy to understand. This book is a bonus for PE teachers that have taught for years and a HUGE help for any new teachers to make their lesson planning a piece of cake!

Such a great resource! This book is really great! I’m always looking for resources that can help me make sure I’m doing all I can to cover all the TEKS and my district didn’t have any sort of resource available that fit the modern TEKS so I found myself looking online all the time. It’s nice to have everything I need all in one place. If you don’t have anything that encompasses all of the updated TEKS look no further!

A MUST Have for any PE Teacher This book, "Lesson Plans for Elementary PE" is Amazing. It is so detailed and very well organized. Everything you need for the entire year is in this book. The author, Wendi Daniels, has already analyzed the TEKS for you. Although this is designed for Texas teachers, anyone would benefit from it. It also includes health lessons, which for me is such a positive!!! I'm beyond thrilled with this purchase. every PE department needs it! You won't be disappointed and for the money, it's a steal!

LESSON PLANS FOR ELEMENTARY PE Amazing! This book is a must have for Elementary PE teachers! The lessons are well written and align with the TEKS for both the PE and Health curriculum. I love how each lesson comes with a list of equipment needed and even provides links to videos for the lessons that require them. It has made planning for the beginning of year a breeze. I can see that this year is going to be much easier to plan. I am so glad I bought this book!
