Our students are very active and enthusiastic when it comes to outdoor activities and sports, but many are unaware of how their body works and how to eat and stay healthy. Being mostly children living in a high-poverty community, good nutrition, and healthy habits are not always everyday day options, and if not taught, these children could become susceptible to avoidable illnesses and diseases, not to mention childhood obesity.
The HP touchscreen laptop is requested because we need more workstations for our physical education program and because I am always teaching outside on the PE Court or traveling from class to class on rainy days, so there is a need for devices that are portable.
With this laptop, my students can access the SPARK Digital Curriculum, which consists of 3 years of access to the entire AS section of SPARKfamily.org. school curriculum, providing a complete e-Manual with digital files of all content including instructional videos of SPARK activities and dances. There are also interactive alignment/assessment tools along with audio files for use with an iPod or MP3 player included.
Using the classroom's SmartBoard, I can also access the HKC Balance My Nutrition curriculum online and teach health and nutrition as well as run dance and interactive sessions online with my students using this HP laptop. Your donation would impact all students from grades 2 through 5 for the next three years and will help them learn how to take care of their bodies while having fun at the same time.
