My Project

This September I started at a new school in Crown Heights Brooklyn. I am teaching Physical Education to grades K through 8th. While the gym space is quite large the equipment shed is greatly lacking. I'm hoping that you can help me stock my equipment closet with a variety of equipment that I can use to provide endless fun activities for my students. This particular project is for a few different-sized foam dodgeballs, some cones, and some mesh bags to organize the equipment. I hope to play a wide variety of activities with this equipment.
