Strong Starts: Strider Bikes for Active TK Kids

Help me give my students balance bikes and helmets for TK PE, helping students develop balance, coordination, and confidence through active play while building a foundation for lifelong physical activity

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scott's classroom raised $1,407

This project is fully funded

My Project

The 12 balance bikes and helmets will provide my TK students with the opportunity to develop vital gross motor skills like balance, coordination, and strength through active play. At this age, these skills are the foundation for success in both physical and cognitive development. By using balance bikes, my students will build confidence, foster independence, and improve their physical coordination, which will also support other areas of learning such as handwriting and following instructions. The helmets ensure they can explore safely and confidently.

My goal is to create a fun, interactive environment that encourages physical activity and builds essential motor skills.

I want to provide my students with a positive experience that promotes teamwork, perseverance, and physical confidence. Through the use of balance bikes, I hope to foster a love for physical activity and healthy living that lasts beyond the classroom, preparing them for future success in school and life.

My TK students are a diverse group, each with their own strengths and challenges. They are eager learners, full of energy, curiosity, and a natural desire to explore the world around them. These young learners are developing social skills like communication, taking turns, and working together, and the Strider bikes will enhance those skills while promoting physical growth. Their unique needs and vibrant personalities make them especially deserving of tools that will help them thrive both academically and physically.
