Question
what activities are used in clasroom setting?

Answer
Melanie,
This can not be easily answered, because it depends on the needs of the students, the size and facilities in the classroom, and the activities selected to meet the student's needs. Normally only very basic A.P.E. activities such as jumping, dancing, exercises, and eye-hand activities can be done in a classroom. Most of the time the actives are done outside or in a special room.
I wish you and your child the best,
