My Students

Our Title I elementary school serves scholars in grades Pre-kindergarten through fifth grade and is located in a high poverty and transient military area, in which one hundred percent receive free breakfast and lunch.

Their smiles, energy, and eagerness to be in our newly built elementary school each day help them to be prepared and ready to learn!

In addition, these energetic, athletic scholars look forward to entering our gym each day to learn about fitness, social skills, and being healthy.

My Project

At this age, ball play helps students with eye-hand coordination, finger muscles, grasping skills, and the ability to move objects from one hand to another.

In addition, balls help with gross and fine motor skills, spatial awareness, grasping skills problem-solving skills, balance, and language and social skills.

Most of my students do not have balls at home. These balls will be used daily in my PE classes and will give every student a chance to play with a ball.

With COVID-19 still happening, students will need their own ball to be successful, and receiving these balls will provide this.
