  • Movement to Create Play and Connection!

    Funded Feb 18, 2024

    This year have helped me create an atmosphere that rewarded our students for their efforts in PE. I have an outdoor classroom and sometimes due to weather we are not able to go outdoors. With the funding from this project we were able to have many activities that engaged the students in teamwork and movement while having fun. Thank you for providing this opportunity for my students from SPED PRe-K - 2nd grade to feel successful.

    Another big focus I had was creating incentives for our students and our special needs students. We were able to create a quiet space for my special needs students to participate with their peers...thank you. The incentives were a hit and the students learned and mastered jump rope tricks, field hockey, ball control and balance with our incentives.”

  • Move Outdoors, Connect, Grow, and Have Fun!

    Funded Mar 7, 2023

    The students at Laie Elementary in our Pre-K SPED, Resource class, and Kindergarten - 2nd graders were beyond excited to use the "Move Outdoors, connect, grow, and Have Fun" equipment for PE! There were so many shouts of excitement; smiling faces; thanks you's and hugs because we had this equipment in their PE rotations.

    The very first equipment that we used were the Chinese Jump Ropes. Many of our students did not know what game it was and needed assistance to work together and learn. This is a teamwork game and our students were having so much fun learning a jumping combination. As their skills progressed they were creating they're on challenges and levels and it was exactly what we needed to help build their confidence; introduce a new skill; encourage teamwork; and encourage creativity. Mahalo nui Loa for creating this experience for our students.

    We have an outdoor classroom and the students have loved having the equipment to incorporate new skills and games. Many of our students have expressed gratitude because of our new equipment! In fact, I rotate the sessions and equipment and sometimes I have students begging to repeat PE activities because they had so much fun.

    We were also able to use the team building equipment and games with the students to encourage physical activity and build a connection with their peers. It was so exciting to see their smiles and laughter as they were hopping, running, tugging, pulling and playing together! This was an absolute success and our students enjoyed it so much. Thank you for making this possible for our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Manutai
