My Students

I have 17 students that are all energetic and enthusiastic about life. We are in the midst of social distancing, so they stay six feet apart during learning and they do so well staying focused despite school being so different this year. They work hard all morning long before going out to recess. At recess, we still have to wear masks and stay separated which has made recess more difficult this year. Then they come back in for a distanced lunch, specials and more academics in the afternoon. Despite all of the challenges of the year, our students have shown how tough and perseverant that they are!

My Project

I am asking for equipment that my students can use individually while we are on the blacktop outside and also some individual supplies for indoor recess days.

They will be able to use jump ropes and chalk individually.

They can kick soccer balls without having to touch, and will be able to use cones for obstacle courses!

I have also included bags for individual supplies and a bin to keep everything in. This will all ensure the safety of the kids and let them enjoy recess at a safe distance.
