My Project

I have been at my school for five years now teaching Pre- K. This year some of our equipment has broken down and doesn't work anymore. We need new scooters for gross motor skills , jump ropes and other necessary items for my kids to have for outside movement. My students have outside playtime everyday for 60 minutes. These items will help them to play, grow, learn, and have fun outside everyday. As an Early childhood educator for fifteen years we know that children at this age learn through play. They love to jump rope, ride bicycles, play with sand and hula hoops. Help us get these items and add to our fun play time. These items are necessary for their growth and learning. This gets them moving everyday and helps with their development.
