Importance of Movements in Physical Education
Funded Sep 24, 2020A special thank you to all the donors who have made this project a reality. Without people like you who are willing to help, it would be hard to motivate my students, especially during this pandemic.
My students were so excited when I told them the good news. they can't wait to use all the materials that was donated to us. The video camera will help my students in recording their games and be able to view and critique their games which will help them to improve their skills. Whether the teacher or a student behind the camera, documenting the school year can make you a more intentional teacher and help the students in your class remember what they learn throughout the year
Again, thank you so much for your undying support. You are greatly appreciated.”

Funded Sep 16, 2020I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Your help is greatly appreciated. Distance learning can be tough but, because of your support, you have made every teacher's job easier and more productive.
The laptop that was funded will assist students to understand exercise science in developing physiological and psychological changes that occur in aging. It provides many apps for research in group work in order to have better understanding exercise science. In addition, my students will be able to type your notes and papers makes writing and editing so much easier, and it can help keep you organized. In addition, accessing the Internet puts you in touch with a world of information that can help you to better understand any subject.
The headphones, we received, will help all my students to remain on task and at the same level. It will encourage them to pay closer attention, and interact with the teacher more frequently, because they will be better able to hear every word.
Again, thank you so much for your support. May you continue to support and reach out to everyone who is in need.”

Funded Sep 22, 2020Once again, thank you for your generosity. All materials that we received from all of you will surely contribute to a better learning experiences to all my students.
The printer is an excellent way to deploy experiential learning and give students more hands-on experiences. Having printer, teachers can create activities that take academic concepts from the theoretical to the practical. One of the benefits of incorporating technology into physical education classes is that learning can be enhanced beyond strategies, skills, and rules between individual and team sports. It becomes possible to align physical education with other areas such as math or geography, and physical activities can be individualized to create optimal challenges for students.
All my students can't wait to use all the materials we received from you guys. We are forever grateful for everything."”

Funded Jun 11, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity. It has been quite a challenging year teaching online Physical Education classes due to the pandemic as we start the new year where we left off last year with distance learning. Having an iPad Pro helped greatly. I was able to videotape activities, exercise with my class, and explain important exercises during classes so that the students could easily access and view in real time. The iPad, accompanied by the nice, case helps keep my iPad in a safe environment with the needed protection from all the activity accomplished daily. The iPad has really helped with the communication need daily for my student to be active at a time where they mostly sit for long periods. The use of the pen can also quickly help demonstrate important aspects needed to point out to the students in a fun by clear way.
All my students are thrilled learning about this project because they can easily be involved in order to advance and develop their physical fitness. As a teacher, I can do a lot of random exercises in classes with the ability to move to multiple areas to show the exercises we are completing.
I am so grateful for everything this project enables me to accomplish. Thank you so much for making my online PE classes easily accessible and much more fun!”

Funded Jun 8, 2020I cannot thank you enough for all your generous donations. Because of the pandemic, my students have not been able to use the fans that were given to us. for sure these items will surely help all my students in class for the following reasons:
1. It is essential in a weight training room that there is local accessible and quickly responsive control of ventilation and heating. The long-time practice of
opening and closing the windows provides too uneven a pattern to provide a
safe environment. 18 degrees Celsius is an absolute minimum, below which it
is unsafe to practice anything beyond small, sedentary, gestural movement. Fans will surely help my students be more comfortable when they are exercising.
2. Classrooms are where students learn the lessons they will carry in their adulthood, but learning environments aren't always conducive to education. Poor air quality in schools leads to decreased performance and increased absences and health issues for both students and teachers.
3. During the pandemic it is extremely important that students exercise not only for their body but for their minds. The ability to have an ipad to connect with my students through distant learning and exercise along with them makes the class a little more personal and fun.
As I showed all my students all the stuff we received from donors choose, they were all excited. They can't wait to use them when they get back to school. Especially the fans as we have no air conditioning in the gym when the weather is very warm and they are always asking to turn on the AC!
Once again, thank you so much for all your support. It means a lot to all my students!”
