Help me give my students the opportunity to develop their growing bodies through gross motor play. These trikes can help my preschoolers strengthen their muscles, practice problem solving skills, and enhance their social interactions with their peers.

My Students
I teach 20 4-5 year olds in a public school. My school is housed in a community that is very family oriented. Most of my parents were students at the school themselves, having sat in the very same classroom as their children. I am able to communicate with my parents daily, thus creating a partnership with regards to their children's learning and growth. My students are creative and have a love for learning and are curious about their world. Each student is unique and brings a variety of experiences that make our classroom community a bright and exciting place to learn.
My Project
These materials will help my students strengthen their muscles to create and maintain strong bodies. The goal is to teach children at an early age how to lead a healthy and physically fit lifestyle all the way into adulthood. Riding trikes helps preschoolers with coordination and balance as well as large muscle development.
Early childhood education is designed to help provide support for the social, physical, language, and cognitive
development of a child.
Students can also learn social and problem solving skills as they learn how to share and take turns when using the materials in our small classroom community.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
