I teach kindergarten in a low-income community at a Title 1 school. My students love learning and I feel it is my job to provide them the best education possible so they will have the keys they need to unlock their potential. In the classroom we work very hard and I would like for them to have an opportunity to have fun and play hard at recess, while developing skills that can easily transfer into the classroom. Additionally, a lot of my students do not have the opportunity to go to local parks or play with balls. A lot of them live in apartment complexes that prohibit noise so they do not have ball skills. I want them to learn how to play at school.
