My Project

Having these materials funded will give my students exercise equipment to get moving while being indoors. My students are not have recess. They are indoors majority of the day. Not to mention, I am looking for a way to meet my diverse learner needs to move.

Daily exercise is important!

I would like to implement at least thirty minutes of exercise to get their blood pumping and their bodies moving. My students expressed their feelings on needing to move around throughout the day and having the exercise equipment such as yoga mats, resistance bands, and other exercise equipment to promote healthy moving will fill this void.
