My Project

With your support, I hope to expand our indoor recess collection with additional engaging activities. These games and STEM resources will not only give my students a much-needed outlet during indoor recess but also help foster critical thinking, social interaction, and fine motor skills.

Recess is an essential part of the school day, providing students with a break that helps them refocus and stay engaged in learning.

Without proper indoor recess supplies, students often become restless, leading to a loss of focus when it's time to return to instruction. These materials will help my students release energy in a constructive way, while also building important life skills like cooperation, perseverance, and creative thinking.

Thank you for supporting my students and helping to make our indoor recess time a positive outlet in order to have a productive school day!
