The new soccer cleats have completely transformed our physical education lessons and our after-school soccer program. My students are now able to participate in structured drills, practice footwork, and engage in small-sided games with confidence and safety. T\r\nhe excitement was unbelievable! As soon as the box was opened, the room buzzed with energy. Several students couldn't stop smiling as they tried on the cleats, lacing them up and immediately testing them out with quick sprints and dribbles. A few even said it felt like they were \"real athletes\"a huge confidence boost for kids who often don't get access to proper equipment.Our next goal is to use the cleats to start a student-led \"Teamwork & Fitness Challenge.\" Students will track their progress in agility, passing accuracy, and endurance over the next few weeks. We're also preparing for a friendly scrimmage with a neighboring class, where students will apply teamwork, sportsmanship, and the skills they've been developing. These cleats are opening doors for them—not just in athletics, but in confidence, collaboration, and leadership.","fullyFundedDate":1762166183263,"projectUrl":"project/soccer-needs-cleats/9866711/","projectTitle":"Soccer Needs Cleats","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp725882_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1525715179808","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-schinn"},{"teacherId":9013556,"projectId":9059847,"letterContent":"Several students have especially warmed to the iPads. One of my quieter newcomers has begun recording himself reading aloud every day—something he never felt confident doing before. Another student who struggles with attention has been able to stay focused longer thanks to structured, interactive lessons on the device. And several of my students with limited access to technology at home have blossomed; the iPads have opened a world of digital literacy skills they wouldn't otherwise have been able to build.\r\nBecause of these iPads, I've been able to differentiate instruction more effectively and give students individualized learning paths that help them grow with confidence.

Instead of being passive learners, they can now explore concepts visually, listen to modeled reading, record responses, revise their work, and receive immediate feedback.\r\nWhat excites my students the most is the sense of independence and creativity the iPads give them. They love being able to choose learning apps that fit their needs, use drawing and note-taking tools to show what they know, and work at their own pace. For many of my multilingual learners, this technology has been especially empowering—they can translate unfamiliar vocabulary, listen to stories in both English and their home language, and practice pronunciation in ways that feel safe and encouraging.","fullyFundedDate":1746786312233,"projectUrl":"project/laptop-for-new-lunar-year/9059804/","projectTitle":"Laptop for New Lunar Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mcnair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9013556_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724323583432","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9013556"},{"teacherId":725882,"projectId":9829028,"letterContent":"Thank you for the new cleats.

It's more than just footwear; it's a boost to their self-esteem and motivation. Students now approach practices and games with more enthusiasm and teamwork than ever before.everal students who were once hesitant to join the team have really come out of their shells thanks to the new cleats. One student, for example, had been nervous about joining because they didn't have proper shoes and often slipped or got sore feet during games. With the new cleats, they've become one of our most dedicated players, showing up early for practice and encouraging others.

The iPad have become powerful tools for supporting both academic and emotional growth. For students working on mental health and social-emotional learning, the iPads give them access to mindfulness apps, journaling tools, and guided breathing exercises that help them manage stress and emotions throughout the school day. They also allow teachers and counselors to personalize resources: such as videos, mood trackers, and reflection prompts to meet each student's needs. This has helped students stay more focused in class, communicate their feelings more openly, and build healthy coping skills.\r\nMy kids love using apps that let them express themselves through drawing, music, or voice recordings.
