These large parachutes will be great in our elementary school gym because we are focusing on kindness this school year. The parachutes encourage cooperative play which is important when incorporating kindness into our physical education program. The rugged parachutes encourage non-competitive, cooperative play. When scholars make the parachutes billow, they strengthen shoulder, arm and hand muscles, refine motor skills and develop a sense of rhythm. I'm asking for six parachutes to use in small groups in my physical education classes. I teach about sixty scholars in each of my classes each day which consists of grade levels kindergarten through fifth grade. Having the six parachutes will be a huge contribution to my Physical Education program.
