My Students Want to Be Active For Sixty Minutes Daily!
My students need bubbles, balls, soccer goals, jump ropes, soccer cones, a Wobble Stool for movement, potato sacks, jump rope rhymes, straws and connectors for building outdoor castles and forts, punch balls, jerseys, and hula hoops.
I am a first-grade teacher in a wonderful school in Wisconsin. My students are very special, and I just love going to school every day to see the sparkle in their little 5- to 8-year-old eyes. I also get to connect with students of various ages during and after school. I truly have the most special job in the world and treasure every day with my students! We participate in so many fun activities throughout the year, and our hope is to add even more.
My Project
My students are super excited about their ideas for increasing activity at school for sixty minutes a day! I had my first-graders look through all kinds of items that they could use on the playground and during special free active play time. They found some really fun ideas and are really hoping to get these activities. First, they are asking for some gloves to use on the playground monkeybars. My students favorite thing to do on the playground is to play on the monkeybars, but the poor things are always coming to me for bandaids, because of the huge blisters they get on their hands. they love the idea of gripper gloves, so that they can go crazy monkeying around. They also want jerseys, a soccer ball, and some soccer goals so they can get a team sport going each day!
In addition, they have asked for new playground balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, and other fun goodies, so that they can play hard and have plenty of equipment to do it with.
My students also want relay race activities like potato sacks and egg and spoon supplies. They will have a great time racing each other and getting all kinds of exercise! My students are also requesting bubbles, punch ball balloons, and a bubble ball to chase around on the playground, which will definitely increase their activity level. Next, my students are requesting more straws and connectors. These are manipulative and creative toys that they can build huge structures with. We will use these outside, with the sets we already have to build castles, forts, boats, rocket ships, and other things that are much taller than we are! It takes a lot of stretching and cooperation to build things this big and tall! This also increases imagination and creativity.
