My Project

I have taught Physical Education for over 30 years from Kindergarten to college. Team sports and Physical Education help to develop gross motor skills, and over all fitness/health. It also helps to improve students behavior self esteem and performance in the classroom.

We offer a variety of sports/activities to help the students to reach their full potential.

The variety of equipment will be help for skill development and team work. Playing team sports will help the scholars learn sportsmanship, team work, how to win and lose with dignity.

The hockey equipment will help with eye hand coordination and add variety to the program. The football equipment: footballs and flags will help with team work and and a great outdoor activity. Some of the items are for classroom management: megaphone, electric whistle and floor and outdoor markers. The beach ball and volleyball will help the younger students adapt their skills in volleyball. The variety of equipment will help build a great PE program for kindergarten to 8th grade.
