Help Mrs. W.

I am a physical education teacher at three elementary schools in rural North Carolina. I really enjoy watching my students improve their fitness and cardiovascular endurance. I have learned so much from them--sometimes I write down their variations of games to use for the rest of my classes! I am asking for an electric air pump, dynabands, and playground balls so that I can encourage my students to move. Every year, I notice that the pre-kindergartners and kindergartners are heavier than the year before. Childhood obesity can lead to an increased risk of juvenile diabetes, respiratory problems and sleep apnea. I must encourage my students to be physically active, not only on the one day a week of our class, but the other six days of the week! I will use the air pump to inflate the playground balls. I use playground balls for beginner techniques in soccer. I also need the dynabands to perform stretching exercises during warm-ups. Join with me as I encourage my students to move so that they can make physical fitness a lifetime activity.
