My Students

My students are self motivated thinkers and innovators with diverse needs who are making a difference in the world. They are inclusive and work together as a team to achieve both personal and group goals. They utilize each other's strengths while working to improve each other's weaknesses. My students celebrate the good and the not so good. They are optimists. They are problem solvers. They are talented risk takers. They are leaders. My students make us a true community of learners.

My students are active, eager learners who need the ability to move while they learn.

My Project

The youth of today need to have more opportunities to engage in physical fitness activities. For far too long, education has focused on keeping students in their seats in order to learn and retain the information that the teacher is presenting. Today, kids don't sit still. They are constantly on the move. With all of the new technology and other things for kids to do, research is showing that kids today are not getting enough physical activity.

Kids are designed to be balls of energy and they need movement, adding stations where my students can move to learn will help to keep them focused and engaged.

Having the ability to use the Pop Fitness Cycles in the classroom while taking notes or a test will allow the most active learners to complete assignments to the best of their ability because they will be exercising while learning. The gym mat will allow students the ability to go to the mat to work, and to do calming activities like Yoga. Adding these tools to my classroom will help me to enable my students to get closer to reaching the recommended amount of physical activity, which will benefit them now, and in the future.
