My Students

After an entire year of online learning, my class is so delighted to be back in the classroom. My 3rd-grade class is made up of happy and energetic kids.

My students are resilient and always ready for a challenge.

They couldn't wait to see their friends and share their experiences. Learning was a priority, but most of them missed just talking and playing with their peers.

My Project

My 3rd graders will benefit from outdoor activities. The pandemic limited the time my students were able to interact with their peers. Having returned to school has made the children happier to once again be active and have yard playtime.

Outdoor play is essential for the development of healthy minds and bodies.

The outdoor equipment will allow my students to enjoy physical activities. The students will once again enjoy playing and being competitive with their peers. The equipment will be used during our P.E. designated time and will increase their movement, balance, and flexibility.
