My Students

We love the energy our 4th and 5th graders bring into the classroom! Students are energetic and excited to participate in our class. The students receive Physical Education 3 times per week and many of these students express desire to receive our class more frequently.

Our students had some of the highest scores in the area this past year; even though 40% of our school population qualifies for free and reduced lunch.

We want to give our students as many opportunities as possible to be active and successful.

I love that our students express positive attitudes, and enter the gym everyday with a smile on their faces. These students are motivated to participate in daily activities and take on any challenges put before them.

My Project

These soft foam vertical boxes will upgrade older metal vertical boxes our gym currently has. The metal boxes make kids fearful to try jumping because students often hit their shins on the box, leading to cuts or scrapes.

The soft foam boxes are not only safe, but are fun for the students to use.

This material presents the students with an enjoyable challenge that gets them excited about performing locomotor movements.

Receiving 4 foam vertical boxes will allow our Physical Education team to implement new activities and learning experiences for our students, as well as making them more rounded athletes.
