My Project

I have chosen materials that will stimulate my students' imaginations as they get exercise and much-needed physical time.

Using excessive energy encourages learning!

Gone are the days of an entire grade level playing on one playground. Students get the playground 2 out of 6 days; the other days we are on the blacktop, in sports fields, or in grassy areas with limited equipment. Students are great at coming up with games when they have nothing, but those involve more hands-on actions which are not safe in the school environment. I would like to give my students a variety of items to occupy their minds and hands as they release their energy for better learning!
