My Project

Recess is the one part of the day where student get to choose the games and activities that they want to play. Students need to create games and activities on their own without teacher direction. These materials will allow for the students to have more options to choose different games, sports, and activities to play.

Student structured games will improve their socials skills.

Students need time to socialize with other students. This sports equipment will allow for students to problem solve, work together, and communicate. I think my students would greatly benefit from these materials. I think that their social skills will improve while they are also having fun. My students and I will be beyond grateful for any donations for these materials.
