This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach PE to students in grades K-5 in a multicultural school that celebrates diversity. My students enjoy running, racing, bowling, dancing, and tennis. They also enjoy reading, math, and playing foursquare, and basketball at recess. Our school is an open-concept school which means that there are no walls that separate classes from one another. Every year, we have a family multi-cultural night where families bring food and wear traditional clothes to celebrate their culture. It's a great time to celebrate the diversity at our school.
My Project
We only have six basketballs. We also have wonderful yellow foam balls that are great for shooting baskets but don't bounce very well. My students would really benefit if we have rubber balls (not too hard and not too soft) to practice dribbling with.
Having a class set of balls would make it possible for every single student to practice dribbling at the same time.
Some students need the extra time and practice with their very own ball. These balls would make a huge difference.
These balls would make it possible to work on other basketball skills such as passing, catching, and throwing. I'm also requesting basketballs that students could take home for the weekend and return.
