Hula hooping and jumping rope are fun, simple, and provide great benefits to children's health. These activities release lots of endorphins, which help some kids relax and calm down.\r\n\r\nWe have enough jump ropes and hula hoops for everyone in my class to enjoy, so no one has to wait for others to finish using them.\r\n\r\nWe are grateful for your donations, and you can rest assured that the equipment is being used appropriately for physical activities.","fullyFundedDate":1757015254752,"projectUrl":"project/physical-movement-for-firsties/9627033/","projectTitle":"Physical Movement for Firsties","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peraza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1324305_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y633&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763440396959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aperaza"},{"teacherId":7630815,"projectId":9509461,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your donations for our classroom smart tv.

The students really enjoy when I play them videos, especially brain break videos where they can follow along to dance movements.

Saving me from taking trips to the copy room. \r\n\r\nI taught accelerated Algebra this past year and the whiteboards were super useful. As well as the markers and erasers. My students were bale to show their work and graph functions, and I was able to support the students that needed more help using those same materials.

The smart TV ensures that every student, regardless of their seating position, clearly sees the material we are working on. Meanwhile, the Elmo is a game-changer for modeling critical skills—whether it's working through math problems, analyzing texts, or demonstrating strategies in real time. \r\n\r\nBy integrating these tools, my students benefit from a dynamic, student-centered learning experience where they can better visualize, interact with, and understand the content.

The students will lay in the sensory boat or body glove and the pressure of their sensory needs comforts them. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use these materials to support our emotional well being.
