My Students

My students are just like any other students. They want to come to school and have a great educational experience. My students have some major obstacles that other students around the country will never experience and I try to make each class their best of the day.

Teaching inner city students has been one of the most rewarding things in life.

My students face different stereotypes, stigmas, and labels before they even enter the school and I make sure to tell them how great they can all be. With the new challenges presented before us, due in part to the pandemic, I would like to get me students some motivation to stay physically active.

My Project

My students have expressed a vested interest in learning how to live a healthier lifestyle. A class pedometer set would be one "step" in the right direction! Walking is one exercise that won’t cost you anything beyond time and there are endless health benefits.

Pedometers are a quick and easy way to challenge the students to be more physically active and promote an active lifestyle.

With Covid 19 restrictions severely hampering what our normal Physical Education program looks like, I would love get the students walking outside the school as part of the daily P.E.
