More Places to Play

Think of yourself as an architect who wants to construct a playground suitable for all children. Specifically, focusing on handicapped students. It is just as important to make an all inclusive classroom as it is to make an all inclusive playground. 

A playground that is fully accessible to handicapped students will allow them to fully enjoy their recess time and you can make it happen by remodeling a playground to add features that accomplish this goal. 

By the end of this lesson, the class will have addressed these standards:
