I am requesting items to promote classroom fitness, health and wellness and active learning opportunities. My students are most engaged and excited about learning when movement and fitness are involved and I want to give them as many resources and opportunities as possible! Each week we do classroom fitness fun! We do yoga, Go Noodle, Kids-bop dancing and turn taking games. While my students are happy when we do this, I want to give them more items to interact with and have more available for them to promote more focus in the classroom. Due to some of my students having sensory processing disorders, they are in constant motion to help cope with some of their stress and anxieties. These items will assist with coping and stress relief while encouraging their focus and meeting their multi-sensory needs at the same time. We will use the fitness DVDs to offer fun ways to engage with exercise with different leaders to practice following directions. The mini floor foot pedal and sitting stepper will allow them to stay seated to focus on work, but to also be able to move their feet as they please! The fidget spinners will help to self sooth. We will use the yoga mats so that the students have a comfortable and safe way of doing stretches and yoga in the classroom. The sensory and fitness games and activities will foster team work, fitness and wellness while also serving a sensory purpose to assist with student's processing needs. Differentiated seating will help students who use movement to cope to allow them to move, but continue class focus!
