My students need hula hoops and rubber pigs/frogs for fun Physical Education games.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shanahan's classroom raised $223
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am lucky to work in a school where I teach over 500 students who are extremely diverse and simply amazing. A full 80% of our students fall below the poverty line and face a number of challenges at home and at school. We also have students who are new to the country and come from all over the world.
These students overcome obstacles with great motivation and a positive attitude.
They impress the teachers each day as they walk into school smiling and happy. They are loving, kind and appreciative. I want to provide these kids with the best opportunities; they truly deserve it.
My Project
Students will be using rubberlike pigs and frogs during Physical Education class to work on the skills of underhand and overhand throwing. These animals will be used in addition to other Physical Education equipment, giving students choices and the opportunity for individual development. These animals also provide a FUN non-threating atmosphere for all students to practice their skills.
With this equipment, it will allow students the opportunity to develop fundamental skills while having a whole lot of fun!
Students will use the hula hoops for a variety activities; jumping & landing, body awareness, targeting, spacial awareness, and lifelong fitness. Currently, my class set of hula hoops are broken/bent and do not provide the same fun learning outcomes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
