Pursuing a Healthy Lifestyle, One Game at a Time!

My students need goals to utilize both inside and outside since we don't have a standard gym. We need stopwatches to record others through fitness circuits and racquets for the introduction to tennis for PK-2 safely.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach 300 awesome students about the importance of physical education. Many of our students come from a low-income community. 99% of our school's population is at-risk and is on free or reduced lunch.

These kids are AWESOME!

They are full of love, energy, and curiosity, especially when it comes to health and physical activity! Through the implementation of physical activity and health concepts I hope to help my scholars to find ways to improve not only their lives but their home lives also which will create a better all around culture. I may not be able to control their home lives, however I do have the ability to guide them throughout their elementary PE experience. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire lifelong learners physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My Project

I am requesting the ball goals to help with teaching shooting skills and to increase the success rate of my students based on goal height. The goals will allow us to participate in our March Madness activities both inside and outside.

Our fitness circuits are a race against time, that's where the stopwatches come in!

Our students will encourage one another as they each complete our fitness circuits, being timed by a group leader.

The use of the foam racquets will be a safe and great implement to use when introducing striking and hand-to-eye coordination to our PreK-2 graders which will lead into more complex activities (i.e. tennis).

These materials will give the students a chance to improve their success rate and increase their likelihood of continued practice and participation in physical activities individually and as a team. Thank you for taking the time to check out our class project.
