The Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center is an incredible educational establishment that promotes creativity and imagination for children to flourish in their environment. I would love to continue with this philosophy in the physical education setting, to give these children the tools they need to do just that. My role as the Physical Education teacher at GRCDC is to create new, and plentiful ways for my students to express themselves. However, with the physical education program being new to the school, the equipment supply closet is quite limited. In turn, this limits the number of activities that can be realized on a day-to-day basis. I am hopeful that there will be more supplies accessible for my students to foster a creative space that encourages movement and exercise. I plan to use the equipment to support balance and stability, locomotion, aerobic exercise, and strengthening, among many other properties of health for my students. For instance, soccer supplies, such as the pop-up goals and soccer balls will encourage gross motor coordination, cardiovascular activity, and teamwork. I would be so grateful to have the proper supplies that will inspire exercise and movement that are also age appropriate for K-5 students.
