My Project
Everyone knows that exercising has a positive effect on brain health, mental health and memory. Since COVID, the students are coming in with social and emotional needs. This equipment such as scooters will build my students self-control and self confidence in learning literacy and math skills.
My students live in Minnesota and the weather gets cold in January, this equipment such as the balls will help my students increase their self-control and self-confidence in the classroom.
The ribbons will be used in the classroom and in the gym to music, which will improve my students' physical and mental abilities.
