Dancing Ourselves Fit

Funded Sep 27, 2020

Me and my students truly appreciate your contribution to our gymnasium giving us a new way to stay active while also staying safe. We are improving on our reaction time and memory in grades 2-5 playing our interactive games on the mats even having to opportunity to engage in a little health competition. We are improving or sense of direction in 3K-1st grade understanding in-front, behind, left, right to transfer to pathway skills.

The students are very excited to use the dance mats especially on rainy days and we have to stay in the classroom. One glowing moment a student who normally doesn't excel in physical activities has found success in using the dance mats and enjoys coming to class when we use the mats. These mats are able to give the students a variety of success from increasing cardiovascular fitness too beating a new level.

I can't wait for these mat to be integrated in to class circuits along with other activities. The students are quickly getting the hang of how to use the mats and the games, when they finally fully grasp how to use the mats on their own it can then be combined with other activities.”

With gratitude,
