My Project

The variety of balls and the sidewalk chalk will significantly enhance my students' recess experience. We have a large blacktop area with basketball hoops, a funnel ball setup, a four-square area, and more. However, we lack the balls needed to play these games and sidewalk chalk for those who prefer to express their creativity during free time. I have carefully selected all the items in this project based on my students' wants and needs. I often see them searching for limited resources to play kickball, four-square, basketball, funnel ball, football, soccer, and volleyball, as well as trying to decorate the blacktop.

Recess is important for several reasons, impacting students' physical, mental, and social-emotional well-being.

It provides a much-needed break from the classroom, promoting better focus and attention in class. Recess also enhances social and emotional skills, helping students learn to cooperate, negotiate, and resolve conflicts. Additionally, it encourages physical activity, contributing to overall health and reducing stress.

Being creative is also important because it enhances various aspects of life, from problem-solving and communication to mental and physical well-being. It fosters innovation, encourages adaptability, and strengthens connections. Creativity also plays a crucial role in learning and inspiring emotional development.
