Help me give my students physical education at home as many do not have any PE equipment to get active and healthy by having an opportunity to play at home during pandemic.
A. P. Elementary is a Title I school in Los Lunas, New Mexico. I teach preK-3rd grade physical education and also teach intervention for 2nd graders. Although students and families often struggle financially, our students are amazing and have adapted the best they during the pandemic. Teaching remotely as a physical education teacher is a challenge as students often do not have any equipment. Since we are most likely going to stay remote for the rest of the winter, I would like students to have an opportunity to have real PE equipment at home that they can use. I have used rolled up socks, water bottles and crushed paper as a ball and other equipment, it is hard to teach dribbling a basketball when a paper ball does not bounce. I would like to have small amounts of personal PE equipment for them to use, as many of our students do not have playground equipment at home. By providing equipment, students can have a wider range of activities in their remote PE classes. It would help kids and families be more active when not in PE which they receive for 30 minutes twice a week.
My Project
Due to the pandemic, many kids are not staying active which affects their health. Although they receive PE remotely, it is limited on what we can do as many students do not have equipment at home. We often use water bottles and paper, but for example, we cannot teach dribbling a basketball unless we have proper equipment that can bounce. By providing students with equipment at home, they are more likely to remain active after school which positively affects their health. Please help my students get the equipment they need at home to help them stay active and healthy.
