FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pagel's classroom raised $777

My Project

Being outside is always great for kids and with these fun activities my students will be able to interact with peers, learn social skills, physical skills, team building, cooperative play, and much more.

My goals for this project are to enhance my student's outdoor activities and to build relationships with their classmates.

We need binoculars, a parachute and badminton rackets.

We head outside during the warmer months and explore our school grounds and the nearby arbouretum. The binoculars and bags to carry them will be used to spot living things in nature. The rechargeable batteries will be used to power our classroom items while creating less waste. The parachute and games will be used outdoors when the weather is nice!
