My Project

Our students work hard each and every day. Our school is currently under renovation so we have been temporarily relocated to an older, well-worn building nearby while the construction takes place. It has been taking place for three years. They hope to be done soon!

In the meantime, some new and interesting games for indoor recess would brighten up our not-touched-since-1960s swing space for some students who surely deserve it.

We can ignore the missing ceiling tiles, the weird smells, and the freezing cold hallways. When it comes to indoor recess, though, everybody would enjoy kinetic sand, a building set, or a game or two that is brand new.
