We used them this week to play crab soccer and my 5th and 6th grade students absolutely loved it! We will be using them next week to play an Indiana Jones activity where two groups will work together while standing in a circle formation and move the giant ball around the circle and try to tag other students who are running. I cannot wait to try it.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw this giant cage ball their eyes lit up and the screams filled the gym for sure. They never saw such a huge ball. The middle school students from the other side of the gym were even peeking over the curtain and looked excited at the site of our new equipment. It is an awesome addition to our equipment room for sure!\r\n\r\nMy autistic students really like the ball too! They like to push it around and play tag with it and it is great because it is pretty heavy it helps those students with their muscular strength and it just brings excitement to the students because it is so big! \r\n\r\nThank you so very much again for helping to give my students these opportunities that they will never forget in PE!","fullyFundedDate":1734711750906,"projectUrl":"project/our-gym-needs-these-giants/8820727/","projectTitle":"Our Gym Needs These Giants!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Petrulsky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3505750_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522876388369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3505750"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90288","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":900,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"22.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.1,"schoolId":90288,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McAdoo Kelayres Elementary Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McAdoo Kelayres Elementary Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/hazleton-area-school-district/mcadoo-kelayres-elementary-school/90288"}
