Help me give my students access to a multitude and variety of resources that will increase attention, focus and engagement inside and outside of the classroom.

The students I serve attend a low socioeconomic title one school with limited access to technology. Limited access to technology, internet and electronic devices limits my students connections and experiences to content and to today's competitive world. Over 50 percent of my students come from low-income families, without the optimal cognitive or emotional development to succeed as students.
My students come to class with various disadvantages, who are growing up in stressful environments and school may be their only access to technology, internet, and an instrument to change their social structure.
Due to these circumstances my students tend to have more emotional and behavioral problems, making the transition to school problematic. It is understandable that as academic material gets more difficult, they will likely fall behind further, emotionally and socially.
Providing play equipment for my students will hopefully increase and gain engagement and make it easier and more enjoyable for them to learn. As a teacher, giving my students opportunities to have healthy and engaging play is necessary for social, emotional and academic success.
Students will have access to a multitude and variety of resources that will increase attention, focus and engagement inside and outside the classroom.
The materials and resources that I have selected will aid in providing my students with an opportunity to have active and engaging outdoor play and indoor engagement.
Students will be provided with recess equipment to utilize outdoors for fun, active, and exciting play with classmates. After recess, students are more attentive and more apt to perform cognitively in the classroom on their TpT educational resources.
Physical activity plays a vital role in this development and recess allows students to mentally decompress and absorb what they've recently learned. Giving students access to play equipment for recess affords them a time to rest, play, imagine, think, move, and socialize. It also allows and helps children to reset their brains for the remainder of the day.
In addition, the gift card will give access to a wealth of online curriculum resources for both my distance learners and those in the classroom. TpT provides an abundance of digital content that is engaging and standard based to support the needs of all learners.
