My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging activities and challenges that allow them to think outside the box. They come to school each day ready to be exposed to new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. I serve a very diverse group of learners who all come from very different types of backgrounds. My students all are eager to learn and are excited about learning new things.

My Project

These materials will allow us to develop leaders through the teamwork concept. We will be able to divide our class into different teams using the colored vests. The leaders of each team will be able to clearly distinguish their teams from one another. Having clearly recognizable teams will ensure that each leader can clearly advise, lead and encourage their respective groups.

We will use the vests and basketballs to play numerous team-oriented games that will require the use of functional and operational equipment.

Our goal is to recognize, identify and develop leaders through team-oriented activities and that will allow our students to develop their leadership qualities.
