My Students

What I love about my students is their eagerness to learn. When they walk in the gym the first question is "What are we doing today?" even though it may be written or they can see equipment, they are excited for what's to come. They are smart, kind, strong, competitive and pretty darn amazing! My students come from diverse backgrounds and want to experience as many different activities as possible. Sometimes, with our diverse backgrounds we might not have the chance to experience those activities and that's where we come in as a physical education community. Help me fund this project so my student can have those life changing experiences.

My Project

Our students have enjoyed our volleyball unit, I would like to build on that so they can progress with their skills. We will use the smaller beachballs to grow their hand eye coordination and with using a smaller ball for volleying, it will help increase their setting and bumping skills.

The pickleball set will introduce my students to net games which they haven't done before.

This game is growing world wide, I want my student to have the experience learning and playing it. I am super excited to show them this game.

Last but not least the color basketballs are extremely helpful in this time of play. Student will recognize their ball more easily being color coded which help with germs. The junior size allows my elementary students handle the ball and get comfortable practicing with them.
