Thanks to a generous grant from the Woodhaven-Brownstown Education Foundation (WBEF), Young Fives students at Gudith Elementary are experiencing the joy of learning on two and three wheels!
Angela Stewart, Young Fives teacher at Gudith, used her WBEF grant to purchase two balance bikes and two tricycles for her classroom. The new additions have quickly become a favorite part of the students’ day - bringing smiles, laughter, and valuable hands-on learning opportunities.
“These new bikes and trikes are helping students develop balance, coordination, and confidence while engaging in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences,” Stewart said. “From working together to assemble the bikes to learning how to take care of them - like checking tire pressure and proper storage - our students are gaining real-world skills in responsibility, teamwork, and problem solving.”
Stewart shared that it’s been especially rewarding to see her students’ pride as they master new skills and encourage one another. The bikes have not only enhanced physical development but have also created moments of collaboration and connection among the class.
The Woodhaven-Brownstown Education Foundation continues to support innovative learning opportunities like this across the district, helping teachers bring creative, impactful ideas to life in their classrooms.
