Global School Play Day on February 7th: I am putting out a request for a few items that families may be able to donate to our class for http://www.globalschoolplayday.com/ and school community for OPAL being introduced to our students. This is part of promoting and providing opportunities for our students to engage in unstructured outdoor play. A formal request will be sent out by our school soon BUT I need a few things for my class as we explore and reflect on this learning experience. We are starting small and anything that can be shared is very much appreciated. 
ITEMS include:
Large Wooden Spool (4)
Car Tires (already being donated & so excited!)
Plastic Plumbing Pipes (clean & unused) of various sizes
Milk Crates (6)
