My Project

All of our students love to have unstructured playtime outside. The two Universal Transitional Kindergarten and three kindergarten classrooms play outside at least two times a day. The students enjoy playing in the sandbox, swinging on the swings, riding bikes on the track, and climbing on the play structure. Although our students enjoy being outside, there is not a lot of shade and it can get uncomfortably hot most of the year.

These playground materials will help my students enjoy their outside learning time while they build sand castles and dig tunnels.

The products that I have chosen will make our playground safer and cooler as well as more fun!!
