My Project

Please help me grow my PE equipment by helping me by more cones for my gym. I only have 12 gym cones and this week, two of them broke. We use cones all the time in class to make off boundaries, for relay races, we even use them to catch items in.

When I take students outside I'm able to make off the boundaries of our outdoor PE space with cones to make sure students know where to stay.

Also using cones helps others in the school to know what areas we are using on the field grounds. Cones are such an easy piece of equipment that can be used in so many different and unique ways.
