My Project

I have the most amazing students. Most students are very eager to participate but there are some that still aren't "feeling it." I want a way to excite those that are hesitant to participate as well as add to the offerings for those that love participating . Most of my activities aren't ultra competitive and everyone can be successful. I adapt all of my activities to meet the skill and competitive level of each class. I believe that the Blazepods will open up another dimension for my students. They can be used for an unlimited number of activities and can work on various skills, at all levels.

These Blazepods will be a game changer.

I am known for taking separate games and blending them together or making up games on the spot. These will help give me the creativity to take the activities up a notch and make them fun and engaging for all students. New equipment always excites the students but I believe that these will excite them for years to come. They can be used by themselves or along with other equipment.

If this project is funded it will have a profound impact on all of my students. The Blazepods will pique their interest, get them excited, and get them moving. Physical Education isn't only about sports. It's about getting students to enjoy moving around and being active throughout their lives. If a student doesn't enjoy what they are doing they aren't going to want to continue to do it. I truly believe that these Blazepods will give them the excitement and motivation to be lifelong movers. Thank you for considering this project. Your donation will be well spent.
