My Project

The Number Steppingstones will help students obtain balance, agility, coordination, and confidence. Practice on these enticing steppingstones will hone these gross motor skills, as well as numeral identification and counting. The dancing streamers will add enjoyment as they create their own unique movements. They will notice how the wind affects the streamers. Many students have never been bowling and the magnetic game will provide a glimpse to what the game is like. They will learn force and motion concepts. They will enjoy creating an obstacle course or show creative skills in devising their own game with the cones, hoops and bean bags. The binocular and magnifiers sets will provide opportunities for closely exploring nature and our outdoor environment.

Our eager to learn students need this new and engaging equipment for learning in our wonderful outdoor learning environment.
