Recess Toys

Help me give my students recess and outdoor toys to make friends and play!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O’Brien's classroom raised $742

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students currently do not have any outdoor recess toys as they are not provided by our school or district. My students would love basketballs to play with one another. The students would also love jumps ropes to play and exercise and hula hoops. I would love to see how happy they would be with these toys. The students are also very responsible and would clean them up and store them on the rack each time. If funded these would be shared amongst all first grade classrooms and the kindergarten and second grade classrooms as well!
