My Students

My students come from high poverty neighborhoods where their school is their safe haven. They are kind, respectful and hard working students.

I split my time between two elementary schools that have little to no PE equipment and limited space to hold our indoor PE classes.

They deserve to have the proper PE equipment to use when they enter my class.

These students work hard in and outside of the classroom and should have the best physical education experience possible.

My Project

This equipment will allow my students to access the appropriate PE standards for their specific grade level. It will allow me to organize my students into small groups to work on specific skills. Having enough equipment will allow my students to practice collaborating with peers outside of the classroom while also building their own confidence and sportsmanship skills.

PE class is where most students develop an enjoyment for physical activity.

This interest can hopefully lead to a lifetime of enjoyment of physical fitness. However, specific tools are needed to implement many of the activities within the PE curriculum.

The soccer balls will assist lower elementary students in developing their manipulative skills of dribbling the ball and controlling it with their feet while my upper elementary students will build on those skills while learning to pass and receive the ball with a partner before participating in small group scrimmages and whole class soccer games.

The bean bags, fleece balls, and foam balls will allow students to safely develop their throwing and catching skills with objects of different weights and sizes being thrown.

These are just a few examples of how this equipment will be utilized. These students deserve to have equipment to use during their PE classes. Please assist me in helping these children look forward to PE class!
