Help me give my students and the rest of the grade level chalk to write and draw with on the hardtop when the playground is too muddy to use.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our students love to be outside, but it rains a lot in Texas, and our playground can get pretty muddy. Often we can go to the hardtop when we can't go to the playground.
There are too many children at recess together to safely play on the hardtop without equipment.
We have discovered that if we have sidewalk chalk available, most first graders will choose to draw or write. That way, it's possible for those children who are the most restless to safely walk or skip around and get their wiggles out.
Most students practice visual arts and writing in a relaxed manner with chalk and engage in social and academic conversations, which are so needed, given our high number of English language learners.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
