From the Classroom to the Playground

Help me give my students outdoor toys and a wagon for organizing and transporting supplies to the playground.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rochester's classroom raised $186

My Project

My kindergarten students are full of energy, curiosity, and excitement for learning—and some of their most important lessons are learned outside the classroom. I’m requesting playground toys like balls, bean bags, and obstacle courses. These simple, fun tools will help my students grow physically, socially, and emotionally through meaningful outdoor play.

Kindergarteners learn best through hands-on, active experiences.

Playground toys support the development of gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and strength. At the same time, they encourage cooperation, sharing, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. Help me make school a fun and safe place to be for my students.
