My Students

My students love PE class! At my school, I work hard to provide students with a variety of sport activities that can introduce them to something new, keep them physically fit, and inspire a love of movement!

Teaching lifelong leisure activities is my goal because I want my students to take what they learn from PE class and use it later in life.

In college and beyond, I hope they can take tidbits of information from volleyball or badminton, bowling or pickleball, so that they can participate with friends and family with physical literacy.

Our school is one of the most diverse schools in all of Queens, NY. Being that we are so diverse, I want to provide them with as many opportunities as possible to showcase their skills, while inspiring them to learn new sport activities.

My Project

Tchoukball?! What's that?! Tchoukball is a game played using netted rebounders to teach students how to throw at a target and also receive a throw off the rebounder using quick reflexes! Students will participate in a throwing/catching unit where they will play different games such as cone ball, European Handball and hopefully Tchoukball. Throwing is one of the most important physical skills students can learn- so I try my best to mix up activities to keep them as engaged as possible. By doing this, it provides students various opportunities to find success!

Part of being physically literate is being able to react to a stimuli in an changing environment.

The Tchoukball nets will provide some spontaneity to handball games. Students will focus on aiming for the target and work as a team to catch the ball when it rebounds of the net before hitting the floor. This also provides an opportunity to talk about sportsmanship and teamwork, which is a major part of my curriculum as well.

I love getting kids moving and this Tchoukball set will inspire more students to move and be active.
