arts & literacy116:
meet our team
Ms. Kimberly, Elementary PE: In elementary physical activity students are encouraged to continue physical education while virtually. These activities support schools to establish P.E daily and can provide students with the ability and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime. Some activities that students learn are virtual scavengers hunts and virtual dance. Students enjoy movement and taking care of one’s body. Exercise is critical to good health, relaxation, and mindfulness—plus it’s just fun!
Ms. Kimberly, Homework Help: When we join for A&L on Zoom after school, we work on homework and participate in activities. Together, we get to play fun games, do arts and crafts, and stay active with our physical activities.
