Remember playing hockey in elementary school? It was so much fun. These students have yet to discover the joy of playing hockey with equipment that meets the needs of every student.
This school has a culturally diverse group of students from over 30 different countries ranging from Pre K - 6th.
Our school has 90% free or reduced lunch. Our school attempts to provide many resources for the families and students in the community. While they have experienced many things that most students their age should not have to, they are very optimistic and look for structure, support and guidance.
My Project
These students are great kids with wonderful imaginations, however, their lack of involvement with many activities other than soccer, football and basketball gives them a narrow point of view. Playing hockey, a sport averse to their cultural influence, will develop a more well-rounded foundation of activities they may choose to participate in in the future. We plan to have a hockey tournament to culminate.
Students will have proper equipment to facilitate a fun and exciting learning experience.
Students will continue to develop their fine and gross motor skills which are paramount in their development as children. They will learn the importance of teamwork and cooperation. These skills are essential in developing social skills they will use throughout their lives. These skills and experiences will transcend into other individual and team sports they may participate in in the future.
