My Project

Indoor recess is often a necessity in Wisconsin due to the frequent rainy and winter weather. When we find ourselves indoors, students frequently seek suggestions for activities, and I am eager to share some of their preferred games and pastimes. By introducing a wider range of options for indoor recess, I can ensure that my students have diverse choices to engage with one another. Many students thrive on being outside and interacting with their classmates, so offering a variety of activities will enhance their collaboration during indoor recess.

Facilitating collaborative indoor recess not only promotes deeper learning but also boosts self-esteem and fosters an appreciation for diverse perspectives among students.

My objective in providing these resources for indoor play is to promote continued learning through enjoyable activities while encouraging peer interaction and teamwork.

Having a selection of engaging recess materials will keep students active and focused. Recess is crucial for our students' social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth, helping them develop important skills such as cooperation, sharing, and taking turns. Additionally, recess plays a vital role in managing stress and enhancing concentration, enabling students to remain attentive during afternoon classes. Thank you for supporting our classroom; the students will be thrilled with the new materials!
