Funded Aug 10, 2021Mahalo nui loa! The new resources that we received through our helpful and generous donors have really expanded our outdoor activities during recess. My students were completely thrilled to try out the new equipment our class received. Our class has really enjoyed learning and playing the new equipment "Slammo, ladder & parachute, and toss & catch ball set." They were sincere to take care of it and made sure it was being used correctly by our class or interested students. They were full of anticipation and eagerness to play it during recess or P.E. Students feel so special playing with such new equipment and exciting game that only our class owns. We decided as a class to invite other 2nd grade classes and grade levels to join in the fun. Now other teachers are putting it on their wish list as a "must have" equipment.
The cricut machine has been a lifesaver in all our art & craft activities, it has really upgraded our labeling efforts to an entirely whole new level. I was able to organize many of our student & teacher's supply box as well as our book containers in our classroom library.
Our classroom received a minor face lift with a new indoor/outdoor rug that students are not afraid to stain because it can be easily cleaned with a simple rinse. The world map shower curtain is hung above our sliding door, providing a 3-Dimensional effect. My students reference to different countries when learning about endangered species and current events around the world.
Our next step moving forward is to make sure that the supplies, equipment, and materials are being used with care and that the students continue to enjoy the social interaction they were robbed from during the COVID Pandemic but most importantly to appreciate the simplest things in life promoting (SEL) Social Emotional Learning and Healthy Lifestyle Activities for our future learners.”
