My Project
I love how energetic, curious, and kind my third graders are. Every day, they come to school excited to learn and grow—both in the classroom and on the playground. Many of my students face challenges outside of school, but when they step into our classroom (and out onto the blacktop), they bring joy, resilience, and a strong sense of community.
Recess is more than just a break for them—it's a vital time for social-emotional learning, teamwork, and physical development.
The materials I'm requesting—like balls, jump ropes, and games—will give my students the tools they need to stay active, build friendships, and return to class refreshed and ready to learn. These resources will help make recess a safe, structured, and fun experience where all students can participate, connect, and grow.
Unfortunately, after 8 months of school, we have lost or broken a lot of our recess materials. With these basketballs, board games, footballs, and other materials, our third graders will be able to enjoy playing and learning together again!
