My Students

Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand. Step back and I will act.-Chinese Proverb. Have you ever heard this quote? It describes our school day to a tee! Involving students with hands-on and relevant activities is imperative in today's world.

When you come into our classroom, you will see 26 bright and smiling faces, no matter what is going on around them.

My students are eager to please and work hard to get from point A to point B. No matter what you put in front of them, my students diligently complete the task to its fullest extent. In our classroom, my students come from low socioeconomic homes. My goal is to be able to provide them with activities and materials that will impact their lives, even in 3rd grade. My students enjoy learning about different topics across the subjects, so this health and wellbeing project inspired solely by my students and funded by Target will help ensure we have the proper supplies necessary to continue our fitness journeys on a daily basis in a unique, fun way.

My Project

The core curriculum (ELA, Math, Science, and SS) requires a lot from students. Because of that, students need the opportunity to let themselves go and become active outside. One of those means of letting themselves go to become active is when they're able to play kickball, tetherball, soccer, or any other active sport at recess. This project allows for that to happen. By purchasing health and wellness materials such as pedometers (since my students are intrigued with my FitBit and all that it represents for me as their teacher) along with some alternative seating methods of stability balls, my students will not only be working on their own personal fitness goals, but they'll be able to encourage one another to keep moving. Nothing motivates my students more than participating in competitive activities that influence their own personal lives. Through the use of these materials, students will gain a wealth of sports-medicine knowledge and become well-rounded individuals, even at this young age. This is made possible because they can simply use their outdoor tools and carry that knowledge inside the classroom, giving them the "brain breaks" they needed once they were outside. This way of learning and moving brings about a new definition and sheds new light on the words of "today’s education."

This project will change my students' lives for the better and will improve my classroom teaching in a variety of ways.

By having access to outdoor and indoor supplies, my students will be able to grow emotionally and physically on a daily basis. We'll also be able to work on skills such as companionship, compassion, and how to be a proper competitor. With this project, my students will be able to take charge of their fitness in unique and fun ways.
