Students will be using the supplies for many different things. Bean bags and cones will be used to practice newly learned skills before using full size/weight equipment. Cones will be used to mark spots, boundaries, and also split the gym (gym is shared with one other teacher at all times at some points, three!). Bean bags will be used for warm ups and mini games and will help incorporate mathematics, reading, and critical. The bowling set will be used for days in which we do stations and also for fitness days! Exercises will be labeled on the bottom of each pin and the student will have to perform the exercises they do not knock over. This is a fun way to introduce bowling and fitness in one, while also encouraging students to try bowling outside of class!
