Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 550

This year has been a very interesting school year and has kept us on our toes trying new ways to keep our students safe while still maintaining a sense of normalcy. The Fit, Fun and Socially Distant grant has allowed us to paint the stencils around the sidewalks and hardcourts on campus. We have been slowly adding more paintings throughout the school year after seeing which ones were utilized most by the students and getting feedback on where else they would like them. It's important to let the students have a voice in order to make this project most successful. The students have enjoyed having a set area with painted lines to race each other. Students have also taken activities that they learned in PE class, such as Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge, and used the hopping painted area to play a fun game without any equipment.

Not only are the stencils fun for students to use duirng recess, but they create a more inviting and playful enviroment around our campus. We have been in contact with two other schools that may be using the stencils for their campus in the near future as well.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Our goal is to increase opportunities for students to improve their social and emotional well-being, to be physically active without equipment, and to maintain a safe distance during recess and physical education classes during this pandemic. 

 

What will be done with my students

The Physical Activity Circuit Stencils will be places on sidewalks and hard courts to create a safe environment to play and be physically active. During recess, students will be able to go through the circuit at their leisure. During physical education classes, the teacher will use the circuits with more structure within the daily lessons.
Since the stencils are reusable, they may be used again as the stencils fade and used within multiple areas of the school. Additionally, the website in which we intend to purchase the stencils from states "Site License — As of August 25, 2016, all stencil purchases include a limited multi-use site license for up to 10 sites." This allows us the opportunity to share the stencils with other schools and playground areas. 

 

Benefits to my students

Since we are currently in a pandemic and trying to find ways to keep our students safe as we return to school, we want to find ways to keep our students activite without the use of equipment. This activity circuit allows all students the opportunity to be physically active and engaged during both physical education classes and recess while maintaining a safe environment for our students. There are so many changes and restrictions put on our students this year that it's important for their social and emotional well-being to have safe opportunities to play. Students are able to improve their motor development, flexibility, strength, and coordination through the different activities available.  

 

Budget Narrative

The stencils are reusable and can be shared among 10 different sites, so other schools can benefit from this item.
The paint comes with all of the necessary supplies to display the different fitness activities on the pavement.
All of the items will be purchased through https://fitandfunplayscapes.com with free shipping.
