My Project

Most children often sit outside or in the gym board because we don't have enough balls to share or a way to hit a ball with a bat. My goal is to introduce more items for the children to explore and become more active.

Some of my children come to me and ask to go back to the classroom because they are bored.

There is simply not enough for every child from every classroom to share. So I'm asking for more. No matter if we're outside or in the gym, I want every child to have fun playing basketball, soccer, and T-ball and not waiting for something to become available.

The sand timer is for my classroom. That way my classroom will have a visual of how much time we have left in our activity.
