Students Improving Their Cognitive and Physical Skills in Physical Education

Funded Feb 2, 2021

I am excited to write and inform you that our students have loved the new soccer balls that were donated to our school! Students have practiced their skills in dribbling, passing drills, and other activities pertaining to soccer. As students have developed their physical skills in soccer, they have also applied those skills in small group activities and lead up games. Students have demonstrated their new physical skills and cognitive learning in games such as Wall Soccer.

The first reaction of the students to the new equipment was excitement like Christmas morning! The children were elated to see some new equipment and to have the opportunity to utilize the equipment in advancing both their physical skills, cognitive skills and social development.

Hopefully, the students will be able to utilize their new skills by participating in future PE classes as well as after school programs and organized sports activities. Students will have more confidence to participate on a soccer team as they progress through their school years; this confidence will be beneficial well beyond the school years!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Perez
