PE - Weight Training and Sports

Help me give my students more opportunities to get more equipment for our classes. The dumbbells will replace broken dumbbells for our smaller students. The basketballs will be needed for bigger classes that need more basketballs.

My Project

The dumbbells will allow us to have the correct amount of dumbbells for our classes. All lifts and students in our class use a variety of different weights every class. Our daily goals for each class are to develop functional strength and a love for lifetime fitness.

The basketballs will allow each student to have a ball in each class.

This will help more kids participating in class each day because of the amount of equipment. Right now some kids are sharing which is not allowing everyone to participate in every part of class.

Our goal is to have enough equipment for everyone in class to increase participation.
