Does participation in sports help with grades inside the class room? Peter Joseph Gilmartin
Research • Grade requirements • No pass no play • Time management • Studies of higher GPA’s
Research • BENEFITS • Self reliance • Prioritization • Responsibility • Dedication • Real world
Since I had done my research on the effects of sports in relation to students performance in school I decided to hold field day events for an elementary schools gym classes.
Product • Find a mentor • Find a host • Create activity plans • Get plans cleared • Equipment check • Find a good day
Product • Set up stations • Safety talk for stations • Indicate when to switch • Demonstrate expected actions • Clean up stations • Teach game for after stations • Teach next two classes the same • Clean up stations
My Mentor I had asked my cross country coach, Coach Coughlin, to be my mentor. Coach Coughlin teaches physical education at Riverwood Elementary School. Throughout my project Coach has helped me find activities that would be age appropriate for the students as well as find a day best for the school and the participants.
Challenges • Creating activities for kids -researched more activities • Day for executing -hassled school more • Availability
Successes • Participants • Equipment surplus • Time to execute • Finding a mentor • Participants enjoyed activities
What I Learned • Students attitudes/emotion changes • Procrastination level • Sports do help • I work well with kids of all ages
