My Students

Can you hear it now? As an elementary PE teacher, I schedule activities that include verbal instructions or music. However, students can't always hear what is going on outdoors. At this time, a need I have lies with gaining a small wireless speaker system to assist us in large group settings

Our elementary school has 545 students who love interactive sports activities.

As the only PE teacher in the school, I am fortunate to work with every student weekly. The students are wonderful here and love to engage in outdoor sports that encourage healthy habits and allow them to have fun.

My Project

Sports and games offer more than playing for students. It offers a platform for sports, as well as discipline, the importance of rules, fair play and more. Though my 545 students and I need a number of items, I find one general problem I am experiencing at this time lies with large groups not hearing me or the lessons when outside or even in large rooms while indoors. I know with a small inexpensive speaker system, such as Bose® - SoundLink® Portable Bluetooth Speaker III, it would help alleviate issues with students if they could all hear instructions for games and activities. It would also be useful for school presentations when needed for character building and Anti Drug programs, too. Without a doubt in my mind, I know this type of system would truly benefit all involved at our school. Would you please help my students "hear" everything they need for my PE classes?

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 with a small speaker system to embrace the importance not only with athletics, but listening and hearing directions and instructions during our large group PE settings. Would you consider bringing this speaker system to my students and me to help them hear everything needed during PE, health and character building classes?
