My Students
Our school is a Title One school, meaning at least half of our students get free or reduced-price lunch. We have about twenty-five percent of our student body for whom English is a Second language. About ten percent of those students are newcomers, who speak little, if no English.
My Project
An excellent physical-education program should focus not only on staying fit and active, but also on teaching important social skills, including working with others to achieve a common goal. Teamwork is not only valuable on the field, it can help students manage conflicts in many areas of life and is an extremely important job skill.
It's never too early to teach children about the importance of teamwork and cooperative games provide a fun backdrop to the lesson.
The equipment purchased through this Donor's Choose grant will be used to purchase equipment needed to create fun and motivating team building activities that help children build skills like communication, planning, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. In these games, the students work together as a group to achieve a common goal, rather than playing against each other. While victory is still not guaranteed, a cooperative game will ensure that each participant can have a great time from beginning to end.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
