My Project

With the weather warming up and it beginning to be sunny and nice out recess will start to be outside instead of inside. With this comes the idea of what will they do besides play on the playground? In this project there are many options that will get their blood pumping for the 30 minutes we have of recess. Everything from jump rope and chalk to basketballs and spike ball. Many of the students do not have the access to be able to go outside and throw a football or kick a soccer ball on the daily basis, this will allow the students to be exposed to new sports and maybe find something new they enjoy and love doing.
