Was your favorite subject in school recess? Well,we need bikes! My students need to develop their gross motor skills and pedaling tricycles is a great way to accomplish this.
My students are a diverse group of four and five-year-olds.
Our school is an International Baccalaureate, World Studies elementary school. My students are able to study Spanish, art, physical education, gardening, and computers as well as the kindergarten standards. My students have thirty minutes of recess where they need to get out their energy and exercise.
My Project
In the classroom, my students develop their fine motor skills by writing and drawing. My students develop their thinking skills by reading and asking questions. My students develop social skills as they interact with each other in the classroom. Outside of the classroom, my students continue to develop their social skills. They have to learn how to be caring, principled and communicators. They will also develop their gross motor skills during recess.
Please help my school and the incoming kindergarten students get tricycles for our playground.
My school doesn't have the funds to purchase trikes, and my students thrive on a balanced recess program.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
