My Students

Athletics have proven to be an important part of almost every school. As an athlete, each goes in search of individual strengths and weaknesses. As an elementary school, we need activities to help prepare students for athletic program and the importance of physical health programs.

Our elementary school has a little over 500 students who love interactive sports activities.

As a new PE teacher in the school, I would love for my students to have more PE equipment to implement sporting activities. Our school definitely is in need of some indoor and outdoor equipment. The students are eager to play sports at class levels. With the help of others, I am hoping to bring some productive PE equipment their way.

My Project

Athletics have proven to be an important part of almost every school. As an athlete, each goes in search of individual strengths and weaknesses. Sports and games offer more than playing. They offer a platform for sports, as well as discipline, the importance of rules, fair play and more. For outdoor activities and soccer booming in our town, we could use soccer goals for outdoor games and some indoor nets as well for rainy day activities in the cafeteria. I could use On-Game Arch Goal for floor hockey and soccer. I could help students with this sport through the use of soccer goals. Also baseball and softball are old time favorite in our community. With equipment such as targets, softball and baseball equipment such as bats, balls, bases and more, I could teach more about those two sports. The Big Foot Strider, Floor Hoop Games, Balance Board Duck Walker and Move Cube Set could help my children to improve body awareness, balance, and spatial relationships.

My job as a PE and health teacher lies with promoting the importance of physical education in schools.

My students and I could use your help in getting equipment to embrace the importance of sports and physical education in our elementary school. Would you consider helping us?
