My Project

In my school, physical education plays a vital role in the school community. The gymnasium is the one place where students get to be physical active and release their stress, anxiety, and hopefully have fun.

Specifically, the items that I chose for this project are the most essential items that we use daily in our physical education classes.

We use the S&S® EZ volleyballs as our volleyballs. This is due to not being able to use traditional volleyballs in the space we are in for class. The dodgeballs serve as multi-use balls that we use in a variety of games and activities such as basketball and soccer. Again, this is due to not being able to use traditional balls in the gym space we teach in. I also added badminton racquets and sports tape.

The students at my school are special in many ways. They work hard and are real. They aren't afraid to say exactly how they feel at times. I enjoy going to work each and every day.
