My Project

All of these materials would help me provide quality instruction to maximize student learning in the area of Physical Education. The spots, Hula Hoops, and tennis balls help me create FUN PE games that are focused on strengthening teamwork and social skills.

The yoga moves are an awesome tool that I use to help meet the needs of special education students in the area of sensory input and occupational therapy.

I use dice daily during my warmup game to incorporate math skills and allow all students to participate regardless of their athletic abilities.

I am dedicated to providing a FUN learning environment focused on movement and developing healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
