Due to strict Covid-19 restrictions it has been very difficult to provide activities for my students during gym class. My students love to dance and move and we are currently not allowed to do many of the games and activities that we could before March 2020. With the current situation, they are stuck in classroom assigned seats and not able to move around. Students are social distanced and isolated to small areas in order to keep them safe. I am requesting a 70" TV that can be used to stream videos and other movement activities!
Providing students the time to get up, be loud and move around is invaluable. More importantly now than ever, student mental health is also at stake. Providing teachers a much-needed break also helps to keep teacher energy high and their stress levels lower.
By having a TV, I would be able to bring up videos of professional athletes/musicians/etc. doing workouts that would motivate and excite the students. The gym is a large room and we have anywhere from 35 to 80 kids depending on the class and how many are quarantined. We have two gym coaches so we are often able to split the classes in half with half going outside and half in the gym. When the weather turns cold, it will be more difficult to take half outside. We need a large TV in order to spread the kids out at least six feet apart and everyone still be able to view the TV. Currently, we have areas marked on the gym floor and are able to have kids at least ten feet apart.
We need this project fulfilled as soon as possible in order to implement gym classes effectively and excitedly for the rest of our school year.
