My Project

We want to replenish our most used items and also add some more for students. We are adding some activities for students who cant participate in class, but to keep them active.

This year I have focused on materials to support our Specials Needs students so they can be successful in PE.

I have included sensory tools for students, a desk cycle to keep students active when they may not be able to participate, a bowling ramp for students who are not able to roll a bowling ball but still can enjoy the game!
