Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Children need to be active! Throughout the school day, I incorporate movement into my lessons as much as possible, but there is nothing like recess! Recess is a chance for students to engage with their classmates while being physically active!

This physical education pack project, which includes jump ropes, various playground balls, and other sports equipment, will provide my students with many options for physical activity.

A class set of sporting equipment for recess will provide my students with the means necessary to be physically active as well as to learn the skills necessary to be a team player.
