My little ones loved using the smaller basketballs and foam volleyball. My students must feel successful when we are doing a unit, no matter what it is. When we practiced basketball skills in the past, it is tough for my \"smalls\" to reach the basketball goal (even the low goals) to make a basket with a normal-sized basketball—having the small ones made all the difference in the world. Using the foam volleyball for all grades k-5 also encourages better skill techniques as well because there is less \"stinging\" on the arms. \r\n I see over 200 students within 2 days and to replace equipment or get the correct size for them to be successful is impossible on the budget we are given.
