My Project

In our Bucs Active Adventures P.E/Outdoor sports project, my love for my students is rooted in their enthusiasm, resilience, and willingness to embrace new challenges. Each student brings a unique perspective and energy to our activities, making every session not just an opportunity for physical development, but also a chance for personal growth and teamwork. The resources we plan to utilize in this project are specially chosen to enhance their learning experience in several ways: Outdoor Equipment, Technology Integration, Instructional Materials, and Team-building Activities as well as somewhere to store all them balls and materials. Being that our district has made so many budget cuts and Changes we aren't able to purchase materials for students to use during team sports or gym class. With the new requirements every student is required to take gym every year in middle school. Each resource contributes significantly to their holistic development, complementing the passion I have for their learning journey.
