Bringing Physical Education in Doors Due to the Volcano

My students need an air purifier and materials for various indoor physical activities. We have minimal play time outdoors because of the events happening with the volcano. The Gonge Riverstones are ways to keep them busy.

My Students

The special needs students in my classroom are autistic and developmentally delayed. The students with autism range from severe to high functioning. Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social interaction, developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors and sensory difficulties. I have students that require substantial support. I also have students that are developmentally delayed. A developmental delay is more than just being “slower to develop” or “a little behind.” The students have delays in cognitive (or thinking) skills (the ability to think, learn and solve problems), social and emotional skills (the ability to relate to other people), speech and language skills (the ability to use and understand language), fine and gross motor skills (the ability to use small muscles (fine motor), particularly in the hands, and large muscles (gross motor) in the body) and activities of daily living (the ability to handle everyday tasks). They must also learn to develop their cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, academic and behavioral skills.

I feel very fortunate to have such a great group of students.

They are all so loving. *

My Project

In Hawaii it has been six weeks since the start of the Kilauea Volcano’s eruption, explosions and earthquakes. The civil defense has been doing many things to ensure safety of the students and community. They have been monitoring air quality and have provided shelters and food for people and animals who have lost their homes. There are weekly community meetings to provide updates regarding the volcano. The community is coming together to help support each other. Currently the recommendation of the department of health is to limit outside activities, especially if you have breathing issues.

My school is located on the Big Island (Hawaii) and is not directly affected by the volcano’s lava flow, but students are being directly affected by the air quality and have minimal play time outdoors.

Although we are not directly affected by the lava flow we have been experiencing problems with the air quality due to the volcano emitting sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and bursts of ash. Due to the problems with air quality (heavier vog) the students need to stay inside and get minimal physical activity (gross and fine motor). I’d like to provide the students with various materials such as Gonge Riverstones, markers, construction paper, and building blocks for physical activities and art activities. I'd also like to provide an air purifier to help clear the air.
