My Project

I am writing this project to purchase various items to assist in implementing more efficient accessible activities for my students. These items will promote physical movement activities which will promote success in their daily routines/life.

I work in a Special Education setting where my students are battling many challenges within themselves.

A majority of the students are on the autism spectrum. My students range from 3rd grade to 8th grade. This means there are multiple learning styles among my students. It is imperative to provide our students with assess to various outlets on a daily basis. I plan to stimulate and strengthen my students’ minds through various movement activities.

The daily schedule for the movement class consists of Monday Zumba, Tuesday Obstacle Course, Wednesday Yoga, Thursday Step Aerobics fitness, and Fridays free style dancing/Fun Friday. I plan to use these items to help improve focus, and clarity. All the Balance Boards and the The GoBalance Play will be used to improve balance and coordination, improve posture, core strength, socialization skills, concentration, and more. The stepping stone will be used for Color recognition and gross motor skills, and more. The Sensory Path Decals for sensory which will give the students a sense of sensory stimulation, promote critical thinking skills and more. Each of these activities will serve a purpose in promoting being actively Healthy and mindfulness to help our students succeed to the best of their abilities.

In addition, the rest of the items will be used for various movement activities such as the tunnel will be used during obstacles course, The Bluetooth Speaker will be used to play motivational music for all the movement activities and students will practice active listening skills. This will also help students focus their attention throughout the day.
