Help Our Room Get FIT!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McDowell's classroom raised $377

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are full of imagination and are eager to learn! Many of them come from low income homes and do not have access to PE equipment. I want to give them the chance to get fit. I want them to learn the correct way to play certain sports, how to throw balls, play soccer, play softball, and so many more games!

My Project

Physical education is now mandatory for all teachers to teach! I am wanting to give my students the opportunity to play certain sports the correct way. With the correct equipment, I will be able to do this.

I would like to show my students how to play soccer, basketball, how to use a jump rope, a hula hoop, how to toss a bean bag, and so much more!

The equipment I have chosen will help me do this properly and successfully! Many of my students haven't been able to to learn how to use equipment because we do not have access to it.
