Would You Believe the Mice Ate My Curriculum?

I am in desperate need of a new Spark combo kit to use as our curriculum. Over the summer, the mice were hungry and ate the one I had.

I came back from summer vacation and it seems the mice really missed me......THEY ATE THE CURRICULUM!!!!!!! I am a PE teacher for grades k-5.

For the past couple of years, I have used the SPARK curriculum for PE. The program gets ALL the kids to get up and participate in all the activities, no matter their athletic ability. Through the SPARK curriculum, the classes become more inclusive, more fun-for the students and for the teacher. Research shows SPARK PE kids enjoy greater: activity levels, physical fitness, sport skills, enjoyment of PE, academic achievement and activity levels away from school. The first day back as I was cleaning my office up and putting things away, I looked for the curriculum and discovered a really nasty site. The mice decided to enjoy the curriculum as much as the kids. They nibbled the pages away.

I am looking for the updated Spark program. Spark really saved me the beginning years I started because it involves every child from the athlete to the non athlete. Please help me get these kids going to a healthier life.

Please help me get these kids going to a healthier life. You will make it possible to let me lead the children to a better life.
