My Project

What I love most about my students is their boundless energy and curiosity. They approach each day with excitement and a desire to learn and explore the world around them. My students will greatly benefit from the outdoor play equipment. Outdoor play is essential for Pre-K students as it offers numerous developmental benefits. The Giant connect 4 game will not only be fun but also educational, as it encourages strategic thinking and problem solving. The foam footballs can help them develop their throwing and catching skills, while also promoting teamwork and social interaction. Having a canopy for shade will ensure that my students can enjoy these activities comfortably and safely, protecting them from excessive sun exposure.
