Healthy Bodies

Help me give my students good health for the new year. Many of our kids have been less active during the pandemic. Our students need to develop their bodies as well as their minds.

My Students

I have enthusiastic, energetic fifth graders who want to learn. They are a warm hearted and hard working group.

We are in a neighborhood where education is a priority, but finances tend to be tight.

Parents work very hard to help our school and students in what ever way they can, like through volunteering.

My Project

17 months of staying home has really affected many students mentally and physically. The jump ropes , speed ladders, and handkerchiefs will be used to play physical education games. I'd love to use the handkerchiefs to teach my kids fun games such as Rabbit vs. Wolf or teach them how to juggle. The jump ropes and speed ladders will be used to develop cardio and agility, as well as to play educational games such as jump rope math.

Playing these fun games releases endorphins and gets students moving again.

Exercise will help my students physically, mentally, and emotionally.
