My Project

It's no secret that recess is the favorite part of the day for most students. When the weather permits and we are able to go outside, we have equipment to play on and a basketball goal, but we are running short on balls to use for any kind of outside sport. Students will love having these new basketballs, soccer balls, and footballs to play with. When the weather is not so great and we have to be inside it can be very chaotic, but with these toys to play with inside, it will help to keep kids occupied inside. The kitchen toys will let them use their imaginations as well as the stem toys.

Recess is the time of day that students get to relax and enjoy some free time, and these toys will make that time more enjoyable for them.

If students are able to get their energy out during recess they will be able to focus better in class. It will also help with sharing and social skills, because they will be playing together.
