My Project

During the month of June, I like to find new activities that my students will enjoy. This really keeps them engaged when it gets hot in the gym. These supplies will also be used for next year's Physical Education classes.

Serve, Set, Block, Bump.

My older students are constantly asking me to let them play volleyball. My school does not have any volleyball equipment. Your donation will allow me to purchase a few nets and volleyballs. I can set them up for the 5th grade Field Day. I can also use them outside when we cannot use the gym. Volleyball would be a new endeavor for the students and myself.

My students really enjoy when I incorporate cup stacking into my units of study. We have some official cups (like the ones that I am requesting) and some plastic solo cups. The solo cups break easily. The students prefer using the official ones. I would like to add more official cups to the school's collection. Once I have enough cups, I will have the students participate in cup stacking challenges.

Your donation will help enhance the Physical Education program at our school.
