As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. All students receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. When they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. Our students deserve to have access to different kinds of equipment. I believe in all of my students and want what is best for them. Being in a low-income district they have struggles in their lives that they leave at home when they enter our building. We are a family and they enjoy learning new things!
My Project
This equipment will help with so many things! Hand-eye coordination being one of those. Our students only have the option of playing on the jungle gym or using the swings. This equipment would make a huge difference for them to have some different options at recess.
This will give our students the opportunity to work with equipment that otherwise would not be available to them.
The trash can would be used for storing the equipment and transporting it to and from the playground.
This will also teach them the fundamentals of sharing. I believe this will help with some of our discipline problems as well because it will give them more time to be hands on with the equipment.
