Thanks to you, my students get excited when it is time to go outdoors so they can help bring out the multicolored, multileveled stepping stones, and well, get to stepping!\r\n\r\nWhen we first got the stepping stones, the students were invited to help me assemble the stones by pushing into the holes, the stones' little rubber 'feet'. I think this activity helped the students bond to the steps and have a sense of care for them, along with building the anticipation to try them.\r\n\r\nIt is intriguing to watch the students gather together and figure out how to configure the steps to maximize their wobbly travels. And not only do my now 19 students get to embark on these creative physical ventures, but the other classes that share the yard with us also get to exhibit their gross motor physical prowess and collaborate together on journeys up and down and around the various uneven pathways.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the teeter totter (Teeter Popper), they were super perplexed on what it was! To be able to try it in the classroom was a joy! How often do students get to have an approved and safe body rocking experience on a piece of furniture? Let's go! Pop, pop, pop!\r\n\r\nWith this activity, my students have the opportunity to rock their individual bodies on the popping, snapping teeter totter. Ideally, when it is used indoors, the suction feet make a more pronounced snapping sound on the tile floor as the students cradle their bottoms in the teeter totter, hang on before they go, and explore the wonder of rocking and rolling back and forth without tipping over! Some little souls even recline onto the teeter totter and entrust themselves to the free movement of a teeter or a totter. Meanwhile back at the ranch, as peers are onlooking, guess what they are having to do? Yes! Self-regulate. Here is a great opportunity to learn more about waiting your turn, and learning productive strategies for waiting, such as counting to 20. I have been pleased to see this strategy work and solve the problem of waiting, and now knowing when time is up to give a friend their turn.\r\n\r\nAnd Donors, as if this were not enough, there is yet another resource you have provided to my students. Last but not least, it is the bean bag toss! My students, as well as the students in the other classes approach this game with such amusement park enthusiasm! After giving guidance, they are able to line themselves up, hold onto a few beanbags and pass them to the next person, then after they have eyeballed their target, they figure out how to use those fingers, wrists and arms to form an aim, and finally, fire! Some of these boys and girls actually have accurate shots! They have the options of tossing for shapes, tossing for colors, or tossing for numbers. The options empower and exercise the children's freedom of choice muscles!\r\n\r\nSo Donors, do you think you have significantly contributed to my students being able to proclaim, \"We love playing outdoors!\"?\r\n\r\nI think you know the answer to that. ABSOLUTELY!\r\n\r\nAnd for this and more, I truly THANK YOU! \r\n\r\nSee you outside!","fullyFundedDate":1733321408839,"projectUrl":"project/we-love-playing-outdoors/8944053/","projectTitle":"We Love Playing Outdoors!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Keaton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7396702_orig.jpg?crop=1167,1167,x802,y1167&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599704912065","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7396702"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25442","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":108,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":25442,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cabrillo Early Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cabrillo Early Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/cabrillo-early-education-ctr/25442"}
