IPE 4900
Agency Identified Goal
Student projects address this.
Initial Ideas shared - project topic will be finalized at initial visit. Focus on physical activity for students in K - 5th grade. Space is limited for after-school program. Student team to develop engaging and fun ideas for kids to participate in active movement in small spaces/energy buster activities. Also develop a list of resources for teachers and families of different activities centered around PA. Another potential project idea is related to St. Cecelia's goal of increasing student ownership of the after-school program. The IP team could survey students on how to do this and present report to Carla and other teachers/staff.
* Student population is primarily Hispanic and most children come from homes where Spanish is the primary language. All projects focused on kids should also include resources for parents and caregivers. These resources should be created in both English and Spanish.
