    Thank you for all your support! YOU ARE AWESOME! By donating to this project you’re helping over 500+ students get active in Physical Education, all while having a whole lot of fun. Without people like you our program wouldn’t be able to grow and develop to meet the needs of a diverse student population. Many thanks for kindness and generosity we really appreciate it!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shanahan

  • Pigs, Frogs, and Hula Hoops... Oh, My!

    Funded Jan 24, 2017

    As I was sitting here drinking my Sunday morning coffee trolling through emails. I noticed an email from Donor's Choose indicating that my project was fully funded! I just wanted to say thank-you and that I'm super excited to get my new equipment! With a limited classroom budget, this will allow me to bring new and exciting activities to my students. My mind is already racing with fun ideas and activities that I can incorporate into my curriculum. Stay tuned for pictures of students having a really good time playing with; pigs, frogs, and hula hoops!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shanahan

Students will be using rubberlike pigs and frogs during Physical Education class to work on the skills of underhand and overhand throwing. These animals will be used in addition to other Physical Education equipment, giving students choices and the opportunity for individual development. These animals also provide a FUN non-threating atmosphere for all students to practice their skills. With this equipment, it will allow students the opportunity to develop fundamental skills while having a whole lot of fun! Students will use the hula hoops for a variety activities; jumping & landing, body awareness, targeting, spacial awareness, and lifelong fitness. Currently, my class set of hula hoops are broken/bent and do not provide the same fun learning outcomes.
