When the boxes arrived and we unpacked everything—from the colorful Tinikling poles to the jump ropes and rhythm sticks—the kids were so excited. One student even asked, \"Are these really for us?\" It felt like Christmas morning in the gym!\r\n\r\nWe've already been putting everything to good use. The Tinikling poles were a big hit—we used them to explore rhythm and teamwork, and I got to share a part of my Filipino culture with the class, which meant so much to me. The rhythm sticks have added music and coordination to our routines, and the horseshoe set and cone toppers helped us create fun outdoor games that everyone could enjoy. The Chinese jump ropes brought back old-school playground fun, and the voice amplifier has been a game-changer for helping me teach in a loud gym!\r\n\r\nNext, we're planning a \"Fit & Fun Day\" where students will create their own activity stations using all the new equipment. It's going to be a celebration of movement, teamwork, and joy—and it wouldn't be possible without you. Thank you again for helping make PE a place where every student can feel successful, included, and excited to move!","fullyFundedDate":1733857681215,"projectUrl":"project/fit-and-fun-equipping-our-students-for/8722815/","projectTitle":"Fit and Fun: Equipping Our Students for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dionisio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9718929_orig.jpg?crop=2626,2626,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733975572541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9718929"},{"teacherId":9493782,"projectId":8825762,"letterContent":"We are well on our way to producing the Rainbow Choas posdcast!
