My Project

Help get my students hopping and moving while they are learning. These items will give my students an outlet for excess energy in a fun and healthy way. Children benefit from exercise and movement breaks. Having these items will give them the tools to hop and move around throughout the day no matter the weather.

Let’s create an environment where children can move and learn at the same time.

Items such as the trampoline will get their whole body moving and get rid of excess energy. Bouncy bands and sensory pad will satisfy fidgeting fingers and feet. Weighted ball will build strength and fine motor skills. Carpet markers will teach basic language arts and math skills in a fun and active way.
