My Project

I am creating 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.

As a teacher, I need access to a printer to print out lesson plans, assessments, and more. This will help me see a clearer picture of how I am implementing my movement lessons and other activities. The 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 Friday’s free style dancing/Games Fun Friday. I plan to use these items to help improve focus, and clarity. The hockey table will be used to improve creative thinking, quick decision-making skills and problem solving in my students. This will also improve their posture, core strength, socialization skills, and concentration. The Table Tennis, will improve reflexes, balance, hand-eye coordination and socialization skills among their peers. 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.

The Bluetooth Speaker will be used to play motivational music during some of the movement activities and fun Friday freestyle dance. The students will also practice active listening skills. This will also help students focus their attention throughout the day.
