My Students

The school I am teaching in is in an urban area. The students in my school are extremely motivated to learn and have made tremendous progress this school year. They love to come to physical education class to learn all about different ways that they can move their bodies by playing games and participating in different fitness activities.

My students deserve the best education possible and appreciate the support they receive from family, friends, and the community.

These students are going to make the future bright and amazing!

My Project

My Project

Having a P.A.

system would be a great asset to my gymnasium. It allows me to project my voice in a clear manner and it would increase students motivation to learn. It also allows me to give clear instructions to my students so they don't have to struggle to hear my voice over the four large air purifiers that are required to be in the gym.

This project will make a huge difference in how learning is done in the gym. Masks and giant air purifiers make it very hard for my students to hear my voice, even when I feel like I am shouting at the top of my lungs.

A quality PA system will make the gym a safer place for all learners.

Students need to be able to hear the directions of how games and activities are supposed to be played. If students are guessing about the rules of a game or how a certain activity works injuries can happen. A PA system that will clearly project my voice can prevent that!
