Mr. K's Engaging Learning Environment for Health and Japanese Class

Help me give my students supplies to be creative with projects in health education and Japanese class, as well as fidgets and board games to use as rewards when completing their work or helping them focus or relax.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kahaialii's classroom raised $1,001

My Project

The items I have requested are needed for my students to learn about health education and Japanese class and create a more engaging learning environment.

I have an older classroom with lots of blank walls that lack the look or feel of a engaging classroom, so the anatomy and health posters will be used to help students get a better sense of both the muscular and skeletal system of the human body and the importance of healthy lifestyles so students can begin to take responsibility to keep themselves healthy.

A weight scale and measuring scale for height can better help students conduct projects to calculate their BMI and create fitness plans. I also have an assignment where students create nutrient posters that are important for the body, so colored paper, markers, and scissors will allow students to get creative with making their posters.

I am also requesting ink for my printer because it will help students to print out pictures that they can use for their nutrient posters.

For my Japanese class, learning a new language can be challenging. I start with the basics of hiragana to read and write it so they can write words and create sentences. The book to write hiragana will help students to learn how to write Japanese, and the flash cards can help my students remember and read the characters used for the Japanese language.

I am hoping to include student work that they will make to help give life to the classroom as well as help them be more invested in learning about health education and Japanese culture and language (for my Japanese elective class).

My students have the potential to showcase some great ideas and learning. Having these supplies will help them unlock and use that potential.

I also included some fidgets and games that students can use either as a reward after completing projects or needing brain break in between classwork.
