Running to Boost Overall Well-being of Our Military Keiki
Help me give my students a race clock and other equipment to help them track their running progress to boost their self esteem as they achieve their running goals.
Our school is located on a military base and over 90% of our students are military children. They move schools frequently, which makes it challenging for our students, socially and emotionally. Giving them opportunities to be a part of groups to make connections with other students, helps them feel connected to their school community.
My Running Club is one group where students are able to participate in exercising, as well as connect with peers, which helps improve their social and emotional health.
In our Running Club, students are able to practice running and improve their time to meet their running goals. A running clock that displays their time while running, will create an engaging environment that encourages students to focus on their running and strive for their personal bests. We will be having a running competition later in the year where students will receive medals and participation ribbons. Cones, balls, buckets, and bean bags will be used in warm up activities in our Running Club.
Physical activity not only benefits physical health but also significantly contributes to emotional resilience and social engagement. In my experience, I have seen students who had been struggling socially, become positive, contributing members of their class, after being a part of a sports group. My goal is to engage more students in a variety of physical activities and increase positive, social engagement in our school.
