Growing Through Play

Help me give my students active play equipment and materials to support their social and emotional well-being!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Uekawa's classroom raised $976

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students learn and cope through play. As our students are back to face-to-face learning, I want them to thrive in the classroom and out on the playground.

To continue supporting my students social emotional learning, I want to provide a means for them to continue to grow through play.

Through play, I want my students to have access to a variety of play equipment and activities to enhance their social and emotional growth. During recess, my students will be able to play with their friends with a fun parachute and ribbons for dancing. While indoor, my students will be able to enhance verbal skills and team building skills with use of the STEM activities, or enjoy reading books. My students are amazing, and this project will enrich their social and emotional well-being!
