Small business confidence remains low

Retail has reported the lowest level of long-term optimism among industries (41.2) – the seventh month in a row that the index has fallen below 50. A recent CFIB study found that given these opinions, 94% of small firms want the federal government to address rising costs when parliament reconvenes on Monday.

“We’re hearing from members who are concerned about their future and where the economy is headed as they continue to deal with pandemic debt, increasing taxes, inflation and labor shortages,” said Corinne Pohlmann, Senior Vice-President of National Affairs at CFIB .

Are you a night owl or a morning bird?

I’ve been a morning bird my whole life. I love waking up before anyone else and having hours to start. I start my day with my morning routines to help my day be the best it can be!

What I find most interesting is that the most influential people in the World have a structured morning routine to help enhance their performance!

The beginning of the year is a great time to start a new health routine and starting your day with a sauna is a great way to start healing

A Perceived Philosophical Conflict – PHE America

I am the only female in my high school PE department. It’s been this way for 20 years. The one time another female came in she tried to out-alpha the football coach and got removed from teaching PE and placed in Health. I think she might have taught one section of PE in the two years she was here, and I think it was Adapted PE. Since we’ve had a fully working weight room, it was always paired with the football coach. We got a new one this year, the fifth in my tenure working at this same high school.

Coding Pathways with Ozobots in PE – PHE America

I love finding creative ways to incorporate STEAM into Physical Education. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. I was at my daughter’s Open House for her enrichment class in Bayport where she was showing me how her class was using Ozobots to practice coding. I was immediately intrigued by these little coding robots. I immediately noticed how the students’ faces lit up with excitement as they explained to their parents all the functions you could perform with them. Immediately I thought: what if we combine fitness activities with coding? What a great way to relate to the

The Effects of the Pandemic on Physical Education School-Aged Children – PHE America

The global pandemic has wreaked havoc on academics, classrooms, and physical education. There is no doubt physical education and the physical development of children during their developmental years were greatly affected by the pandemic. Physical education is a field in which physical distancing, wearing masks, and avoiding close contact is extremely difficult. The importance of physical education for a child’s social, emotional, and physical well-being has been shown for decades (Bailey, 2006). As the country slowly comes out of the pandemic restrictions, interest in how physical education classes were affected during a pandemic should be studied.
