Edit
My school is in an urban setting that serves children from kindergarten to eighth grade, and I have all ages on my caseload. The students are all on free/reduced meals, as we work with children in poverty. All of our students participate in fitness or martial arts daily. However, my students prefer dancing! Many of my students are very overweight, in part due to medication for their illnesses. Each morning we meet and discuss behavior goals. One reward they all agree on is dance time! Most of my students have extreme difficulty remaining in the academic learning environment all eight hours. Due to the nature of their disabilities, they must frequently come to me to regroup and calm down daily. Sometimes they need physical activity to burn excess energy or elevate moods, and sometimes they need to center their energy and practice mindfulness. This project can help them do both!
