My Project
Our students are incredibly active and love playing 4 Square! They’ve even taken the initiative to create their own 9 Square games using the existing 4 Square courts on our playground. We’ve seen firsthand how much they enjoy these games, and we know that a dedicated 9 Square in the Air set would be a fantastic addition to our recess activities.
Imagine the excitement on their faces as they play this dynamic game!
This game will provide more variety and keeping students active and entertained and enhance hand-eye coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
By giving students something to look forward to, we anticipate a decrease in behavioral issues and an increase in positive interactions.
Like 4 Square, 9 Square in the Air is largely self-managed, allowing students to play independently and develop problem-solving skills without constant adult supervision.
A fun and engaging recess helps students return to the classroom refreshed and ready to learn.
We’ve observed that when students have enjoyable and stimulating activities at recess, they are more focused and engaged in the classroom. This 9 Square in the Air set will be a valuable investment in their physical and social-emotional development.
We are requesting the 9 Square in the Air set for our students to use for years to come.
Your generous contribution will bring joy and active learning to our playground, creating a positive impact on our students' lives. Thank you for helping us elevate recess fun!
