My Students

At our school, Physical Education is the absolute best place to be! Students gets to move, run, and learn new motor skills to be competent in various sports and fitness activities.

I teach at an inner city school of about 900 students.

Half of our students receive free or reduced price lunch. There are roughly 20 different languages spoken at our school. I have never been to or seen a more diverse school than this one. I tried my best to reach all students to make them feel safe, comfortable, and in shape during my PE classes.

My Project

We are looking to update our fitness room by adding new utility benches and a body scale. Fitness has been our main focus this year and we have already started the process of a new and improved fitness room.

By having these utility benches students will be able to perform a variety of exercises on them to improve their overall strength.

A body scale will help us keep track of the students progress of their body weight and body mass index.

Students will be using their own weight to aid in their fitness on these benches and also be using dumbbells on these benches to improve their strength
