My Project

I would love to have these additional items for outside play for my pre-k babies. Unfortunately, the school is located in an urban area, and we only have a jumbo gym with limited activities. However, we do have some things, yet it's time to increase our supply for my Pre-K babies. Yes, they are my babies when they enter my class in September! I have 20 students on my class list that are very active. Each one of them is unique and special to me!

They have called me Miss Jones, mom, and even grandma.

I answer to all because they are essential to me. I like to hear their interactions during center time; when someone begins to cry, I see the caring side of some, the playful side, the talkative ones, leaders, and my hugs that are shared end of the day. I want the very best for each one!

By increasing our outdoor equipment, my students will be able to choose to play independently or interact during a whole group activity.

Tubes for crawling allow for creativity and facilitate different types of movement so kids can make their way through. Balancing beams help students build balance and coordination—step-by-step! Parachutes strengthen their shoulders, arms, and hand muscles, refine motor skills and develop a sense of rhythm. They will be required to take turns with peers, follow directions and have FUN!
