My Project

These items will allow my students to enjoy their p.e. tine with adequate equipment. Our games will no longer be limited to what we can borrow from other classes and will allow us to have our own materials and equipment to make our p.e. time fun and enjoyable. It will also allow for them to use these materials at recess so that their own play time can be more enjoyable for them. They will be able to use their time to play instead of using it trying to borrow equipment from other classes.
