Recess is for Learning!

Help me give my students opportunities to learn through play at outdoor recess!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The outdoor items I am requesting would benefit the entire kindergarten grade level, including 3 classes with a total of 78 students. The Sports Club Activity Cart not only provides several items for students to play with at recess, but it also offers storage that is easily accessible and moveable.

With these items, the students would have many opportunities for learning through movement, teamwork, turn-taking, and organization.

Currently, our small playground offers swings, slides, and balls. The students love to play together with these items, but imagine their excitement to have more choices for making their recess time the best yet!
