My Project

I teach a classroom of 19 Kindergarten students and share recess with 80 other Kindergarten students and Essential Elements students. Living in Utah, we are lucky to have great snow AND outdoor recess!

The use of shovels by all Kindergarten and Essential Elements students will increase gross motor skills and enhance their attention and motivation in the classroom.

Students will have fun using shovels at recess, while simultaneously being giving the opportunity to strengthen coordination, body movement, and brain development.

With the use of shovels, all students are sure to benefit and have a great time "playing" at recess! They will be able to bring their strengthened bodies and mind back to the classroom, where they will be engaged in learning.
