My students are awesome! I couldn't ask for a better group! I see all students from K-5. They are always excited and willing to try new things. As a matter of fact they are absolutely gushing with excitement when they are shown activities they have never seen. They are from a low economic area of the Bronx. They do not have many opportunities for physical activity outside of school. We work in a small space, which a large amount of students in each PE class. It is a very close knit school, which the love and caring for students is obvious as soon as you walk in the door. They deserve the opportunity to see games and activities that further their love of PE and make them want more. Due to our facilities the activities we can do are limited but can be ones that they go home and tell their parents about and make them ask me "what are we doing next PE class?"
