My Project

When 600+ students use the same equipment day in and day out, it wears out faster than you think! This project will help us replace some of our older worn out balls for PE. This will also help us have multiple colors of the same type of balls when we do relay races.

PE is not just exercising...we work on directions, math problems, sequencing and so many other things that help them in their every day life.

The poly pots with numbers will be used for multiple uses. One example is a team has to find three spots to create an addition problem. The numbered cone sleeves will be a huge help from grades PreK to 5th.

I strive to make PE as fun as possible, but also have an added bonus of education that the students often don't even recognize as work...just FUN!
