My Students

We are having a fantastic year in our elementary physical education program. My students love to be active, and they love to participate in a variety of lessons that get them moving. I am continuing to build my program as it is my second year at my current school.

My Project

My students love working on their basketball skills! Unfortunately, I am unable to teach my physical education classes in the indoor gym area this year making it not possible to use our basketball goals as they are too big to move around. These portable mini basketball goals will give my students a target to practice their basketball shooting when I am teaching in our outdoor physical education space. I have many physical education lesson plans involving basketball goals that I would love to share with my students and you can make that happen!
