Mr. Hodgson from Spokane WA is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

My Project

Many of my students live a sedentary lifestyle and their only movement is in Physical Education class at school. They are very excited to participate and learn new activities and games. They want to be active and learn fun new activities. At our school we have 2 separate weeks in which we combine our PE classes with our music classes to have fun with rhythm and movement. The Drum-N-Store Buckets would just add to the already excited week and help students understand that movement doesn’t need to be just sports. I want them to have fun with a new activity they will never get to do outside of PE.
