My Project

The equipment that I am requesting for my students is to be used for outdoor physical education activities. Last year we had a big flood due to a rain storm we were unable to use our gym for 7 months. Most of our equipment was thrown away due to mold. The students were having most of their physical education classes outside weather permitting. We got very creative with limited supplies. The students did enjoy being outside, but I wish we had more.

This is why I would love to get proper equipment for our students to get outside and learn different outdoor activities.Some of the equipment I selected was because we have a small space in our school yard that has turf.

So I wanted our students to use that space safety and teach them different activities and can be played there.

The activities that I selected for this project are easy to move from one location to another as well as activities that they have never had an opportunity to learn at are school before, such as Frisbee Golf, Mini Golf, outdoor badminton and volleyball. These are just a few things I can do with this equipment.

My students were amazing last year with everything they had to deal with not having a gym room, losing almost all of our equipment and having to be outside most of the year. All I want for them is when we go outside to have the newest and best experience they can.
