Help me give my students something to look forward to in the classroom!
We do not have access to a playground and so our recess and free time are in the classroom.

My Project
Everyones favorite time of school was recess! Time to talk to friends, run around the playground. Throw down on the blacktop.
Working on the West Side of Chicago, we are not fortunate enough to have a playground access.
So we are trying to find ways to get our scholars some time to relax, having fun and also build connections with each other.
These materials will let our first graders be able to not only have fun, but learn some great skills in sharing, communicating and expressing needs. I have asked for a teachers pay teachers gift card for help with getting access to STEM activities and other coloring sheets that can be fun as well as educational!
Some times- having fun in the classroom can be just as fun as outside!
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
