Cooperative Games: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Funded Sep 1, 2023First, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your generous donations to fund my project. With your donations, I was able to purchase equipment used for team building activities. At first, my students were flabbergasted at the site of the equipment because they had never seen anything like them.
The first month of school, our first unit in physical education was cooperative game. This unit set the foundation for our future units. My students benefited tremendously from these activities. I provided them with challenges that would influenced them to utilize teamwork skills including appropriate communication, strategizing, and positive leadership.
My next step is to present these activities at our next field day so that all of our district's schools can experience the benefits of cooperative games. Hopefully this will influence my fellow physical education teachers to purchase equipment like these.”

Acquiring and Applying Fitness and Health Knowledge
Funded Sep 7, 2019My students and I would like to thank you all for your generous donations to this project. Our new fitness equipment has been instrumental in performing fitness activities not just during our fitness unit, but has also been used as inspiration to create Fitness Friday. The day of the week that is dedicated to fitness development and enhancement.
My students are visual and "hands-on" learners, so receiving this shipment of fitness equipment was essential. They were excited to get started with the fitness unit; we covered the 5 components of fitness and many skill-related components including balance.
The next steps in this project is to continuously explore different exercise equipment for fitness activities and then progress to tracking individual progress.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Caravella
