I am a kindergarten teacher at a Title I school in which our students come from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Our school community has a large transient population made up of military families, families in economic distress, and families in transition. 68% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. Right now, we have 75 kindergarten students playing on one structure during recess. We do not have outdoor or playground equipment to help them practice their gross and fine motor skills. We would love to offer more choices for their recess time.
My Project
The playground equipment will allow the kindergarten students to develop their gross and fine motor skills and encourage them to make healthier choices for their bodies. The ball and ring toss will help students with hand-eye coordination. The clip connects and builder blocks will help with find motor development. Many of our students have not had the opportunities for cooperative play and the wiggle cars and bubbles will allow them to learn how to play with other students by learning the valuable skill of sharing. The storage shed is the perfect place to keep all the equipment safe.
By fulfilling this special request, you will be giving all the kindergarten students an chance to enjoy a more active and fun recess.
These items will help ensure that my students have a chance to learn to work with others and help them to become happy, strong, and healthy individuals.
