My Project

Physical education provides cognitive content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for physical activity and physical fitness. Students who are physically active tend to have better grades, school attendance, cognitive performance and classroom behaviors.

Team sports teach us valuable life lessons, including teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and the importance of setting and achieving goals.

They also foster qualities like sportsmanship, resilience, and the ability to handle success and failure gracefully. In this project I am requesting new volleyball and badminton set, scooter boards and jump ropes. The scooter boards, badminton and volleyball set will teach my students how to convert hard work and effort in training into tangible results and self-improvement. In addition, these team sports often involve facing challenges, setbacks, and failures. Students learning to cope with these experiences builds mental toughness and the ability to bounce back from adversity.

Simple play objects like jump ropes can accommodate a wide spectrum of motor development. It's a great gross motor skill not only for jumping and hand-eye coordination but promotes physical fitness, which contributes to overall health and encourages lifelong habits of exercise and wellness.
