My Project

Recess is the favorite part of any child's day! Please help me make it even more enjoyable for my class by giving them sports materials and games to play with their friends.

Playing sports helps your brain grow alongside physical fitness, allowing it to work better to solve problems, leading to higher academic performance and overall quality of life.

Our favorite sport to play with each other is soccer, but are in need of an appropriate net and a variety of balls.

I can also incorporate these materials into outdoor lessons that require teams and cooperative learning.
