Make the Great Outdoors Truly Great!

Help me give my students new options for outside play, beyond running up and down the play structure, like traversing stepping stones and balance beams.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students' yard offers a decent play structure, and they are provided with balls, bucket stilts, some building bricks, and chalk. But there is not enough variety, and some of my students are getting into trouble by playing far too physically.

New and exciting materials will help steer my students out of play fighting and into new play options that will increase their learning, as well as their collaboration skills.

They can work together to build paths with stepping stones and with balance beams. They can imagine their own worlds as they drive plastic cars and trains over the yards' terrain. They can also improve their catching skills as they play with frog mitts. And painting the walls with water will be so much fun as the days get warmer!
