The beanbags have become a fun and engaging way for students to practice throwing and catching skills, as well as improve their hand-eye coordination. The hula hoops and poly spots have added exciting new opportunities for students to work on their locomotor skills—such as hopping, skipping, jumping, and balancing—while also promoting teamwork and cooperation through group games and activities.\r\n\r\nI love the management that these items provide, and students love the activities that we do, especially the \"Hula Hut Challenge\" where they have to build the Hula Hut, and then protect it from getting knocked down.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has truly enriched our lessons and provided our young learners with meaningful ways to stay active, build confidence, and develop essential movement skills.
