My Students

PE teachers have the blessing of seeing more that just one classroom of students. We get to spend time and develop relationships with all the students in the school, from kindergarten-6th grade. Working with the same kids year after year, it is a joy to see their skills improve--from learning to jump, skip and hop to being able to perform multiple complex motor skills while being part of a team.

Covid took away many opportunities for students to participate in regular physical activity.

Now more than ever before, students spend time in front of a screen or device for learning. My students love to be outside, with each other and burn off energy. PE provides an interactive learning environment that allows for the development of valuable social skills and coping strategies that translate into other facets of the students education.

My Project

Our rural elementary school was originally built in 1910. Some time later standard basketball hoops were added. These hoops cannot be lowered and makes it difficult to teach the younger students the sport and fundamentals. We are asking for four adjustable hoops for our school to better assist in teaching the younger students and allowing all 450 of our students to safely play. This will assist us to fulfil the requirements of PE 1.5.3 including competency in motor skills, movement patterns, and safety (PE 1.2.4 - 1.5.4).

During the Covid pandemic, it became even more apparent how beneficial Physical Education is to the overall education of students.

In addition to the adjustable hoops, we are asking for equipment to assist in the development of all elements of movement forms (PE 1.2.1 - 1.5.1). Jump ropes and bowling pins will allow us to provide a variety of physical activities that challenge the students mentally and physically with regular activity (PE content standards 3.0) By donating to our project, you will enhance the physical education of all of our students ages 5-12. This in turn will benefit their regular education.
