By middle school, some kids have already become sedentary. Playing active games outside often takes a back seat to staring at cell phones and playing video games on the couch. Being physically active during PE is a healthy way to battle stress and to help brains and bodies work better! This project will pay for a class set of pedometers . My goal is to provide an educational environment that keeps kids engaged and moving the whole time they are in PE. Using pedometers is a fun way for students to track their movement while dancing, playing active games, and participating in a variety of physical activities. The feedback that pedometers provides can help students set fitness goals and encourage them to move their bodies even more. Ultimately, I want my students to learn the value of fitness and to reap the benefits of cardiovascular health. These pedometers will keep us "stepping" in the right direction!
