My Project

My 23 third graders are hard at work mastering the third grade Reading, Math and Writing standards in order to pass the FAST and learn everything they need to be successful.

When it's time for recess, I would love for them to have balls and jump ropes to enhance their outside time.

The kids love playing basketball, four square and soccer, but lack the proper equipment and balls. Providing recess equipment would allow my students to take a brain break from working hard on the curriculum, and play hard on the field.
