My Project

Help me give my students the physical education equipment they need to strengthen their hand and eye coordination. The balls and the ladder ball game will help the students learn the correct way to toss and catch a ball. This will help them improve their fine motor skills.

When students improve their fine motor skills during physical education class, this is not only help them in athletics but will transfer over into daily life.

These materials will promote engagement, improve classroom performance, and fosters a safer and more enjoyable learning experience.
