My Project

My students need mini trampolines, music and sensory toys to use for fitness and fun in Physical Education as well as incentives for great behavior. I hope to enrich my students' social, emotional, and mental well-being, and to further accelerate their academic learning and development.

It is very important for young children to be exposed to fitness, gymnastics and a variety of physical activities.

It helps to develop body awareness, strength and confidence.

Mini trampolines are another great way for our Physical Education classes to enhance their body awareness while improving their fitness at the same time and the sensory toys help to keep their busy minds stimulated.

My students only have PE one time a week and I want to give them a chance to experience what their body can do as much as possible. These supplies will help with learning acceleration, academic renewal, and student enrichment, as well as, the social, emotional, and mental health of students.

If we can get mini trampolines and sensory toys for our classes it would benefit these young students in many ways. Trampolines help with cardiovascular fitness, the lymphatic system which moves fluids through our body more efficiently, balance, bone strength and fun! I'm planning to use them when we do fitness stations along with some fun and motivating music. Please consider helping my students have a positive experience with exercise by donating toward some mini trampolines. I hope to develop lifetime exercisers!
