My Elementary is a Title I school. Our students come from families of low socioeconomic status. The playground equipment that remains in our school yard is old, rusted, and on its last legs. With cuts in school funding, there is no money for playground equipment. We have no PTO to help with fundraising. Our teachers are tired and already working as I do, an average of 54 hours a week. Kids need and love recess! Recess is important for many reasons. “With recess, children have choices and can organize their own games, figure out what's fair, and learn a lot of social behavior that they don't learn in P.E.” (Scholastic: Recess Makes Kids Smarter) It’s especially important for students like ours who live in apartments and tiny houses in unsafe neighborhoods with little to no yard for play. Also, recess gives teachers time to bond with their students. With the lack of playground equipment at our school, we must be creative with our activities. With the requested Outdoor Ramps Exploration Set and balls, my students can play AND learn.
