My Project

I am requesting some new and exciting incentives for inside and outside the classroom. The candy will be a part of a book study where they can earn tickets to exchange for the chance of finding a golden ticket! This is an engaging and fun activity to go along with a novel study! The recess equipment will help keep them active and moving during our physical activity time.

Right now, we are severely lacking in engaging equipment that make my students want to move!

This equipment will get them ready to play and engage with their friends.
