My Students

I am a physical education teacher at college prep middle school, whose mission is to prepare students with the academic skills and character traits necessary to thrive in college and in life. My class allows scholars the opportunity to engage in physical activities so that they can return to the academic setting refreshed and ready to focus. During class, my students are able to acquire new skills, try new sports, and discover that physical activity is fun. I have the privilege of educating over 250, 5th-7th grade scholars who come from educationally underserved communities. My students love to be active and deserve access to a high-quality physical education experience.

My Project

My school is fortunate to be moving into a newly renovated school building this year. We have a brand new and large gym, which my scholars and I are excited to utilize. Using our new space, the items listed on my wishlist are versatile and able to be used for multiple activities and sports in my physical education curriculum. Scholars in my classes are highly motivated by time and music and show greater improvement in their attitudes and effort when both of these factors are present. With the addition of a speaker system, we will be able to incorporate music into our class which will increase the level of joy scholars have during class. We will also use the sports clock to create healthy competition and help students track their completion of various physical activities using time.

Furthermore, Safety is the number one priority in any successful PE curriculum and the safety cones would better help me facilitate and practice the safety procedures necessary to have a successful PE program.

The bright colored cones will allow students to stay within specified boundaries. This will enhance the learning in my class by teaching my scholars the structure of a variety of games and help ensure they are staying within the designated area, which is particularly important on days when we utilize our outdoor blacktop. These materials will ensure that my scholars have a safe, structure, and sensational physical education class and will help ensure that my students are able to better focus in school, perform better on tests, develop more social skills, and build the foundation to have physically active lives.
