My Students

My stars are the best! They are smart and full of energy. They love to learn and have fun. They are learning and rising to be shining stars. They haven't had much fun because recess is not fun. They can't be close to their friends or share the same equipment. It is hard for these little 5 and 6 years old to understand why the can't play together.

My stars are bright and smart because they strive to be the best!

They worked hard everyday. Recess is what they looked forward to after a long morning of learning. Since in person has came in effect, it has not been easy for my stars to enjoyed that free spirit playtime. They have to play 6 feet apart and cant 's share.

My stars have learned to distance and build a safe environment for eachother. They understand the outside rules and expectations and tries hard to be apart. I want to give them more choices of P.E. equipment so they can enjoy recess. They deserved to have some fun. By having their own equipment they can be safe.

My Project

It has been a challenge to have students learning remotely. When school went back into session having students in person was nice, but it brought in more challenges. They are learning six feet apart and facing forward with their masks on. It is hard for some students to stay focus and learn. Students are in school from as early as 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. with their masks on.

Students thought that they can play outside with classmates, but the same rule, six feet apart applied as well.

My stars are faced with more challenges playing outside by themselves because they are still so young to understand. It makes it harder when I don't have enough equipment for them to play by themselves. By having these outdoor equipment will help to alleviate some of the stress of not being able to play with their friends. They can enjoy playing by themselves with everyone doing the same thing. It will bring some fun into their recess time while playing six feet apart. We can incorporate different games with the materials that we have. These equipment will help my stars to enjoy coming to school because they will have fun at recess.
