My Project

Recess time is important because it supports children's physical, social, and emotional learning. It provides students with an opportunity for active play and collaboration. Students need time to release their energy and play with their classmates.

These materials will help promote teamwork, cooperation, and communication as they learn to share, take turns, and build friendships through outside play.

These are key skills for my preschool students to learn and build upon. These materials will give them more options to actively engage while outside during our daily outside time. It will be so much fun that they won't realize they are engaging in their own learning.
