My Project

Outdoor learning is an amazing way for young students to learn about the world. The materials that I am requesting will help students use their imaginations, build gross motor skills, play cooperatively, build physical endurance, and just let them have good old fashion purposeful play. The soccer goals will be used on the grass for students to play team sports. The steering wheel be mounted for students to use their imaginations, create pretend vehicles and play cooperatively. We plan on putting all of these materials on the playground for students to utilize for many years to come.

By donating to this project, my students will be will be able to choose from a variety of activities that will allow them to learn through purposeful play.

Students will simply be able to discover and explore the world around them. I believe that purpose play is vital for young children to grow, becoming life long learners, as they are our future.
