My Project

During our ball and exercise units, the students will be able to use these resources to enhance their learning throughout the areas in the classroom for hands-on learning.

With these items, our students will be able to engage in an arcade as well as a fitness center!

During the ball unit, our classroom will be transformed into an arcade where students can learn how to use the different balls: golf, basketball, soccer, etc. I have also requested a marble run, a toddler-sized basketball hoop, and squeaky balls.

During our exercise unit, the students will be able to "work out" at our fitness center.

There are also books included in this project that will be an additional resource for the students when learning about these two very engaging topics!
