My Project

If my project of foam paddles and foam balls is completed I will use the equipment with every grade level. I have borrowed the paddles from another school and the students love to use them. I use them to teach striking which leads into hockey, pickleball and my tennis units. The paddles are foam so no one will get hurt and kids will not be to safely learn the skill. They are excited to learn a new activity. We will be able to use the foam paddles for many years.
