My Project

Ping pong has become a true student favorite amongst the student body at school. Ping pong is one of those activities where you can play as well as have a conversation with your opponent. This is important as students sometimes rely on their cell phones as their main source of communication.

My students are special because they are the driving force for me to show up to work each day and create fun projects for them such as this one.

I teach physical education in a cafeteria, so I'm constantly thinking of fun, non-traditional, activities that I can engage students with. My school simply does not have the budget to upkeep our physical education program as we go through lots of materials each year. We rely heavily on donors to keep our program running smooth and effective.
