Wellness Inside and Out!
Funded Dec 16, 2019All of your generosity has provided the students with many items that were much needed in order to facilitate amazing health and physical education classes for grades Pre K- 5. Many of these items included cones, fitness dice, music CD's, planning books, and health literature.
To begin with, the cones are being used on a daily basis. They are being used for many different activities. When I am working with Pre-K, we use the cones to help set boundaries for when they are playing outside. While working with the Kindergarten thru grade 2, the cones and cone numbers are used to create stations where the students can perform different activities such as a jumping station, and dice station. In addition to the station work for grades K-2, I am currently using the cones for grades 3-5, they are working in different types of stations such as muscular endurance and muscular strength. They really help keep our activities organized. Other materials such as the CD's provide music and movement for the students. They really enjoy it! It's become a routine for the students to move to the songs, and since the Pre-K can not come to the gym, it really proves a great experience for them inside the classroom.
The Healthy Habits for Healthy Kids books have really help me supplement materials for the health lessons that I am using in the classroom. They supply great re-producible
about fruits and vegetables, making good food choices, how much is in a serving?, and
reading a nutrition label. The students are really enjoying and learning from these resources.
Again, thank you so much for all of these purchased resources and materials.”
