My Project

I LOVE having the opportunity to promote health and wellness as the physical education teacher in elementary school. Our students are enthusiastic and tenacious when it comes to attending school, become the best version of themselves. I believe that these equipment pieces will allow my students to take the next step on their journey to becoming physically literate for their entire lives.

Health and wellness is important for these students to understand and strive for.

It is an amazing feeling to know that students enjoy physical education, but we want to take the next step in ensuring that they grasp the concept of what it means to be healthy, or the steps one needs to take to get and maintain their health. These equipment items will give us the information we need to compare/contrast different activities we do in Health/P.E. In doing this, students will get an idea of just how vigorous some activities are. They may even discover that some activities aren't as tough on the body as they anticipated. Using the pedometers, we can look at data to help students understand how hard they have been working in class. We can also use our data to help students keep a running account of how many steps they've taken during the school year to promote math fluency.

It doesn't stop there!! Did I mention that scooters aren't just a mode of transportation? In our class, we will be using the scooters as a tool to demonstrate to our students how blood cells move throughout our body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. Getting the scooters and the noodle base holders will help build our circulatory system obstacle course for the students to go through! We need your help and we look forward to it!
