After 16 years in education, I feel like I have found the best possible position because the children LOVE PE! I feel so lucky every day to come to work and enjoy my day with them.

The height makes them great for all of my students, grade Pre-K through 5th grade. My Pre-K students were able to work on their overhand striking skills in a game of balloon tennis, while my 3rd - 5th grade students were able to use the nets and tennis balls for a game of 4 Square Tennis.\r\n\r\nSince we are still in the First Nine Weeks of the school year, I am really excited to use this equipment in my upcoming striking units for my lower grades and my specific sport units for upper grades, such as tennis, volleyball, racketball, etc. Thank you so much for your contribution!
