Gross motor development and coordination is so important for our youngest learners. Playing with balls teaches them important physical skills like balancing, hand eye coordination, as well as gross motor strength. Not to mention playing with balls IS SO MUCH FUN!
These playground balls will give students an opportunity to develop their gross motor skills while developing their social skills and building friendships through games.
These playground balls will allow all 16 students to have their own ball for free exploration time, as well as structured time to play games with their friends. The ball pump will allow us to inflate the balls.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
