The materials and equipment that I am requesting will be put to good use as soon as they arrive to our school! The cones will be used to create clear and intentional boundaries for play areas on our playground. The different types of balls will be used to increase the amount and variety of games that the students will be able to play. Jump ropes, industrial chalk, and hula hoops can be used for students who require fine motor skills development and sensory-friendly activities. When I arrived at school for my first day and saw that the only recess equipment for a school with 445 students from grades K-8 were three footballs and a box of crayons, I panicked. It's extremely difficult to construct a high impact program with such little equipment, but I am confident that with your generosity, my creativity, and my students constant energy, they will be able to benefit from the promising power of play.
