Adapted Physical Education - Small Gym Wall Mats

My students need to feel safe while being active in my classroom. Safety is my top priority!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bardhi's classroom raised $1,848

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our Adapted Physical Education space for our little ones (Pre-K & Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd) is very limited. I am in a space that is approximately 28'X12' and at times it could feel very small. I am well equipped and currently do not need anything else besides a safe environment for that children to play in. If I put up wall mats it will make my room so much safer for all of my students during their activities. I plan to go 4' high, since most of my students are small and along most of the playing/activity area which is 18' to 20' long. Area on the wall painted in light blue will be covered with the mat, which is 1 3/8" thick, it also comes with vel-cro on the back with is great in case I ever have to move to another room.

My Project

Putting up wall mats in my room to ensure the safety of my students during their activities, exercise and play. My project will prevent head/body collisions to the wall which can be very dangerous while active. I plan to go 4' high, since most of my students are small and along most of the playing/activity area which is 18' to 20' long. Area on the wall painted in light blue will be covered with the mat, which is 2" thick, it also comes with vel-cro on the back which is great in case I ever have to move to another room.
