My Project

In Physical Education, there are certain pieces of equipment that are staples and can be used for almost every unit that students participate in. Bean bags can be used in a variety of ways and are utilized in my classroom often. By adding new bean bags to my classrooms dwindling collection, I can help enhance student learning on so many levels. I can continue to play the various games and activities that require bean bags in my Physical Education class and so much more! By adding bean bags with food on them I can help enhance their understanding of nutrition. The alphabet bean bags help enhance letter recognition, and the animals bean bags -- well they are just for fun because my students love trying to get these ones in games!
