For example, one of my students regularly using the canopy and calm down techniques on the pillows to calm himself down and process the emotions he is feeling. The feelings pillow also help the students understand emotions that they may not be used to at this age such as embarrassment or confusion. \r\nWhen the students first saw our new materials, they were intrigued, especially by the canopy tent and grass wall.

Foam frisbees have made throwing and catching skills safer and more accessible for all learners, while the pinny jerseys have helped students clearly identify teams, practice sportsmanship, and feel a strong sense of belonging during group activities. The excitement on their faces when they first saw the new equipment was unforgettable—students immediately asked when they could use it and proudly helped set everything up.\r\nThese resources have also helped deepen students' understanding of health and movement beyond just physical skills. The human body posters are now a daily teaching tool, helping students connect exercise to muscles, bones, and overall wellness. The baseball tee has been invaluable for developing striking skills and confidence, especially for beginners, while the balloon pump has supported fun fitness games that build cardiovascular endurance and coordination.
