The Big 3

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Franklin's classroom raised $579

My Students

My students are full of energy and love to practice any new skill I present to them. They are very interested in physical fitness and team competitions so we spend lots of hours practicing after school.

We are working on developing an inter-mural sports program to help keep students grades "OnTrack".

Since I am the only P.E. teacher in the school I have to spend lots of hours after school to keep my students engaged in activities they love, Many of them hope to be high school and college athletes so they are depending on me to help them set a solid foundation to their athletic careers.

They are first taught the rules and regulations of volleyball basketball and fitness games, we then research the sports to learn about the sport and Olympians. They learn about the equipment and how to get themselves in physical condition to be strong participant in sports. They learn eating habits and how to make healthy choices so their physical condition will enhance their performance and not hinder it.

They are a joy to work with because they work together so well and are very interested in learning new things an exciting

My Project

The Big "3" will be a 3 on 3 basketball and volleyball tournament held on Fridays. Only students who are "OnTrack" will be allowed to participate.

My students must work hard to stay "OnTrack".

"OnTrack means they have an 80% average in each class and 95% attendance.

The materials I have requested will help my students stay "OnTrack".

The basketballs and volleyballs will used to help practice game skills during recess and P.E. The students will also learn the rules of the games and how to referee.

The table tennis nets will be used on rainy days when the students cannot go outside to play the other sports. The students will learn the rules of table tennis and how it helps with hand & eye coordination. They will also play one on one tournaments during recess to see who can be the king or queen of the table.
