My Project

These materials will allow our students to get the best practice for our hitting drills. These drills will allow them to be more successful and they will transfer this knowledge to game play during our baseball unit. My goal with this project is to help my students to become better baseball players, have the experience of success and skill building in this sport. We can also use this equipment for target throwing for baseball and football. My students are amazing kids, they have great work ethic and put in 100% effort to whatever activity we are working on. These students find real joy in PE class despite the difficulties many of them may be facing. We have always been able to learn and enjoy our time with limited resources, but our students truly deserve nice new equipment just like the bigger schools with a larger equipment budget.Thank you
