One specific example is how the students are now able to participate in a variety of sports like hockey, soccer, golf, and football. The resources have allowed us to create a more dynamic and inclusive environment where every student can be involved in different activities. In one of the pictures, you can see how I built a \"stand\" for the leaf blower, which has become a versatile tool for adapting lessons to meet the needs of specific students. This simple addition helps modify activities so that every child can participate and learn at their own pace, whether it's in a more hands-on or modified way.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reactions were filled with happiness, excitement, and gratitude. Their faces lit up with enthusiasm as they realized the new equipment meant they could try out new sports and have more opportunities to play. The improvement in their engagement has been remarkable—students who were once hesitant to participate are now more eager than ever to get involved. Seeing them jump into activities with smiles and a sense of accomplishment has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, the next steps in our lessons will involve further integrating these resources into our sports and physical education curriculum. For example, we will focus on teamwork and strategy through soccer and football drills, giving students a chance to practice not just physical skills, but also communication and collaboration. The versatility of the new materials allows us to continuously adapt activities to challenge students at different levels, so they can continue growing, learning, and enjoying sports in a way that's tailored to their abilities. With these resources, I'm confident we'll continue to foster a love for physical activity and sports in every student!","fullyFundedDate":1734033175828,"projectUrl":"project/pvc-building-strength-and-skills-in-ad/8956267/","projectTitle":"PVC: Building Strength and Skills in Adapted PE Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kyle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7073837_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1579314040641","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7073837"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97591","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":123,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"6.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.0,"schoolId":97591,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academy Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academy Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/new-jersey-department-of-education/academy-learning-center/97591"}
