We were able to purchase the giant size playground games that the students wanted and they have been a hit!! Our PE teacher took each class outside and taught them how to play each game before we put them on the playground for use. \r\n\r\nThe kids have all expressed how much fun the games are. They are responsible for bringing the equipment out and for bringing it back in. It is fun to see them playing games and having fun learning new ones. But, the best thing that has come from this is that the other activities have freed up so that the lines for the swings are shorter and the climbing equipment is less crowded making a more enjoyable recess for everyone regardless of which activity they want to do!!!","fullyFundedDate":1755721202059,"projectUrl":"project/supersize-our-outdoor-recess/9467062/","projectTitle":"Supersize Our Outdoor Recess","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barnes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp555701_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611627092865","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jody-barnes"},{"teacherId":555701,"projectId":9290419,"letterContent":"Thank you again for donating to our supply refresh project!! Your donations helped fund the purchase of extra stools for my classroom and our flexible seating. My students love choosing the stools, but there were never enough. Now we have plenty!!! Your donations also funded the purchase of new headphones- in two different styles- for my students. We use an online learning program once weekly that requires headphones. I was able to purchase enough headphones for all three of my classes to have their own!!!\r\n\r\nI can't put into words how much the support of this community impacts my students. Every time I tell them we had something funded from strangers, they are just amazed.

Their eyes lit up with excitement the moment they realized they could write directly on the tabletops. We immediately began using the tables for spelling and vocabulary activities, and their engagement soared! Students practiced writing playground words, checking their spelling, and challenging each other to come up with new words. What once felt like routine spelling practice turned into an energetic and collaborative experience where everyone wanted a turn to write on the tables.\r\n These tables have truly transformed the way my students interact with writing. They feel free to take risks, erase mistakes, and keep trying—all while having fun. Our next steps are to expand from spelling and vocabulary to sentence writing and short stories directly on the tables before transferring their work to paper. The sense of ownership and creativity these tables have inspired is remarkable. Thank you for helping my students feel like confident writers who can't wait to keep learning!","fullyFundedDate":1755968445515,"projectUrl":"project/inspire-writers-using-tabletops/9488119/","projectTitle":"Inspire Writers Using Tabletops","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ademu-John","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2703917_orig.jpg?crop=377,377,x0,y51&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753836296770","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2703917"},{"teacherId":4818882,"projectId":8828138,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for this generous gift of books!
