My Project

I love the energy, enthusiasm, and support my students show each other both inside and outside the classroom. They’re always eager to learn, try new things, and grow—not just academically, but socially and physically as well. The soccer balls and footballs will help them build coordination, teamwork, and communication skills during active play. Tetherballs and jump ropes will support their motor development, focus, and ability to take turns and follow rules. The flag football equipment will encourage cooperation, strategic thinking, and inclusive team play. Each piece of equipment will help my students stay active, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through movement and fun. These resources will turn every recess into a valuable opportunity for learning, growth, and joy.
