Let's Get Moving! Physical Education in the Classroom

Help me give my students, and the entire 5th grade, yoga mats and exercise decks so that we can continue to meet our physical education goals in a safe, comfortable setting.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Crosthwait's classroom raised $1,164

My Students

We are a group of unique individuals who love to learn and create in all different ways.

We are a group of diverse learners.

Many of our students score at or above standard, but we also we have 12-15% of our students who are not performing at standard. Some students are second language learners and others have difficulty learning through traditional methods.

In our classroom we acquire knowledge and skills best through hands on learning. This gives students the ability to make mistakes and experiment with immediate feedback. The students gain information about how the world works which increases their understanding.

My Project

With physical education minutes within the school day on the decline, our fifth grade team of teachers know it is important for students' health and well being to have physical education as a regular part of their school experience.

These yoga mats and physical education supplies will allow 5th grade classroom teachers to lead students through activities that positively influence student health and wellness as part of their education while in a supportive, safe environment.

These supplies will give 96 fifth grade students and their teachers the guidance and support needed to regularly have physical education experiences in and out of their classroom. With the mobility of these supplies they can be used in classrooms, on the playground, or in the Multipurpose Room. This will allow many different types of experiences throughout the school setting.
