My Project

Recess provides students with time to be active to develop healthy bodies, enjoy moving more, and accumulate the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day.

Recess is also a time for children to release energy and reduce stress, which improves attention and reduces disruptive behavior in the classroom.

On many rainy, cold days we are able to utilize our school gym for indoor recess. We are very limited in our resources. These jump ropes, footballs, and soccer balls will help provide my students with, fun, and engaging play activities. It will help them clear their minds and get ready to learn in the classroom!
