I feel it is my job to expose my students to all types of physical activity. From common team sports to fitness activities. Adding a rock climbing wall to my gym would be the ultimate experience for my students. The rock climbing wall would give my students a different challenge than they are used to. It will help them improve personal fitness, learn and apply strategies, and practice responsible and respectful interaction with their peers. Rock climbing can be so much fun because it allows you to see how physical and mental strength work together to complete a goal. My students deserve to experience new activities that they might not otherwise experience outside of school. Having a rock climbing wall in our gym would bring new excitement to physical education class as well as each student's own physical journey. Students will learn there is more to physical activity than playing team sports. My hope is that by adding a rock climbing wall to my gym it will encourage kids to start exploring outdoors more often and spend less time playing video games and watching tv. By helping to fund this project you are helping my students improve both their physical and mental health. They will build upper body strength, become more agile, build confidence and self esteem, and improve upon their problem solving skills. These are all important qualities to help anyone live a physically and mentally fit life.
