I'll need several digital cameras and memory cards to document one class, every day of the year, for an entire year, to show how exercise, having fun in Gym class, and a healthy diet can really help kids grow.

Children will learn how to take pictures, save them onto my laptop computer or flash memory cards, and eventually gain good experience using electronics, computers, and digital cameras.

Doing our curricular activities, I'll take pictures of my kids running, throwing, catching, dodging, and exercising. Upon looking at the pictures of themselves, students will keep a running journal on what they were thinking at the moment of the picture. I'll be able to document both their physical, as well as emotional, growth. The difference 9 months will make will be amazing! And what's more, even more amazing to have a digital documentation of an entire years' worth of growth and fun in Gym class!
