Help me give my students the opportunity to show that their creativity has not been stifled by the extra screen time associated with the Covid pandemic.

My Project

Now that we are a few years post-Covid-19 pandemic, I am hoping to remind my students that creativity is a joy and is necessary in life. I want to remind them of all of the fun, exciting, non-screen time activities they once loved before Covid-19 forced them to stare at screens most of the day. Please support my beginning of the school year project! This year I am going to focus on creativity in and out of the classroom. I am requesting a set of five, red, bouncy balls. These balls will be used for multiple games, including four-square, kickball and soccer, during recess. I am also requesting a variety of arts and crafts materials. We will use the Post-It chart paper and markers to create backdrops for a variety of presentations, from research papers to Readers' Theaters! Also, the markers and colored pencils from around the world will help to make sure that every student feels welcomed and included while creating these projects. Thank you for your consideration.
