My Project

Recess should be a time for all students to enjoy fresh air, play with friends, and take a well-deserved break from their learning. Currently, however, the options are limited. I would love to see more inclusive and engaging options for all students during recess.

They love to play with others, and at times, require assistance with appropriate interactions with others during inclusion for gym.

Soccer balls, balls and footballs will help them explore different activities to see if they enjoy the sport and become interested in playing on a team! It also gives the students the opportunity to play and interact with other children/students.

Jump and climbing equipment to move and groove while we are outside!

A storage unit to help keep all the smaller items organized and lastly a caterpillar to make them laugh!
