My Students

My students are bright eyed and ready to please! Over 90% of my students come to school with a primary language other than English. They are from immigrant families who receive free and reduced-price lunch status. Parents want them to do well in school but many struggle because they are learning to speak English or have other special learning needs. In spite of this, the children are happy to be in school and try their best.

Because of this, I want to do my best for them so that each one of them succeeds in school.

My work is not done until each child makes good progress and thrives in all subject areas throughout the school year.

My Project

My students love to play games where everyone is the winner. They brainstormed different things that they could do during P.E. time so that everyone is the winner, and no one is the loser. The students felt that games that were too competitive hurt some students’ feelings.

The students came up with some activities that they wanted to do.

On the top of their list were parachute games, which enable all students to have fun while running, skipping, and moving in all directions. Foam and fleece balls could be thrown on top of the parachutes for added excitement. In addition, some students could roll or dribble the balls under the parachute – while others lifted the parachute up and down. Students will be encouraged to design additional non-competitive games to use with the parachutes and equipment as they become more familiar with them.

With your generous donations, these students will be thoroughly engaged in many physical activities that will get them moving for at least 60 minutes each day! Students will be learning lifelong, valuable lessons in building strong, healthy bodies.
