My Students
I teach kindergarten in a diverse school in Oakland. Every year is new and exciting! My focus this year is to give students the opportunity to learn different outdoor activities and games to play.
Recess is a time of learning for kindergarten students.
I make sure my students spend a lot of time outdoors playing and interacting with each other. There are so many benefits to recess including improved memory and focus, increased hand-eye coordination, learning to problem solve and communicate with others. These are just a few benefits of recess time!
My Project
Aside from the various outdoor balls that I have on my list, I added different outdoor games for my students to play. They will learn games such as Horseshoe, Ring Toss and Frisbee Golf.
My students have recess for 30 minutes in the morning as well as their lunch recess and afternoon recess.
Often times, they are wandering around looking for something to occupy their time. My focus this year is to teach my students different games and activities that will keep them engaged during this time as well as to help them with their social and emotional learning. Outdoor games help students learn to work in groups and problem solve!
More than half of students from low‑income households
