I teach middle school physical education and health education to students who come from low economic households in New York. My class sizes consist of 30 students in the gymnasium and/or the classroom. Many of my students say it's difficult to get supplies and with the new COVID guidelines students are not able to share materials. In the mornings I coach a 5th grade BOKS program that encourages movement, functional fitness, and nutrition education.
As a physical education and health education teacher, I strive to make my classes engaging for my students.
I'm so proud of the growth I've seen them conquer throughout the year. My students are creative, interested, and full of energy! I am truly lucky to have such a great group of students.
My Project
We want to give my students the opportunity to play scooter hockey. With COVID guidelines students can only pass a ball with 4 students. Therefore being able to play use scooters and have hand hockey sticks will allow more students to be able to play at a time.
With the COVID 19 guidelines we are trying to be creative as possible to make sure all students are receiving quality, engaging, and fun physical activity.
My students would love the opportunity to add scooter hockey as another unit. Scooter hockey can work on creating space, ball manipulation, and muscular strength.
