My Project

This year is going to be an amazing year for our Mustangs. After a year of rotating PE teachers, I am so excited to be the new, full-time PE teacher for our deserving kids and to provide them with the best possible experience. Each and every product I hope to equip our school with can provide leadership and teamwork opportunities, and most of all a fun space to play and explore skills with their friends! For example pool noodle tag to practice motor skills like running and skipping and galloping, and the teamwork tarp to practice working together and solving problems while using non locomotor skills and cones and bean bags for throwing and catching practice, as well as striking, aim and strategy play. As students practice locomotor and non locomotor skills like this, they can start to add them all up to start participating in team and individual sports. I hope to use the equipment to ensure our students enjoy an inclusive, exciting, and meaningful fitness experience!
