My Project

Scooters and helmets would make for an awesome outdoor exploration unit for my students. As well it would make for awesome end-of-the-year parties and activities. A majority of my students live in housing that does not allow them to play outside easily. Many do not have yards or driveways. Many live in apartment buildings. A bunch of students have never even had the opportunity to ride a scooter before; which is an experience that many, like myself, grew up with. Thank you for your support and consideration.
