My students were so excited the moment they saw the colorful hula hoops, scooter boards, parachute, and bowling set. Many of them immediately began exploring the materials with huge smiles and laughter. \r\n\r\nWe've been using the new equipment to practice taking turns, following movement routines, and building coordination. One of my favorite moments was watching a student who usually hesitates to join group activities eagerly play with the hula hoop next to a classmate — a small but powerful moment of connection.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to use the equipment to build structured movement stations where students can practice gross motor skills and sensory regulation at their own pace.
