These recreational and mindfulness items will help enrich our classroom physical education experience. With a wide array of options (football, frisbee, yard games, card games, art therapy, miniature golf, stress balls, and more) we strive to offer fitness, activities, play, and learning for all types of students and learners. Inside and outside of the classroom, students will be moving and exploring in ways that help them strive towards living healthy lives and replacing destructive habits. Our wellness program is part of the High School but housed in a separate building. Without gyms or fitness equipment, we have to be creative when it comes to providing physical education classes. This is good since most of our students prefer physical educational settings outside of the standard gym classes. With students in mind- we have identified items and activities directly centered around meeting class requirements and student interests. However, we can't don't this alone. The purchase of these supplies will add to items we have been accumulating through gracious donations for the past several years and will help us acquire supplies for every child in our program. When we participate in a wide range of physical activities, my students are noticeably more engaged in their other classes. The movement we participate in helps them build friendships, build self-confidence, be more active, and manage their stress and anxiety.
