My Project

My students are an active bunch! They love exploring and playing together. They look forward to their recess daily and it's so important to be able to experience that time of day in a positive, interactive way.

We want to promote teamwork, good sportsmanship, and healthy exercise for our little ones.

Unfortunately, we have one small jungle gym and two swings. The area is so small not many students can use it at the same time. This leaves many students with nothing to do but runs around on the blacktop. We are still working on our cooperative play skills so without some structured play activities we often see students having disagreements, struggling to share or just not interacting with each other.

The outdoor activities we've requested will give out students something to do while on the blacktop along with promoting all those cooperative play skills we are hoping for them to develop.
