We have used the exercise dice in our classes and the students really like how rolling the dice give them a choice for what exercises they may do by what they roll. The pennies help us separate teams for games, and it also makes teaching the Physical Education Classes better because not only do the players but also the teacher knows what team people are on. \r\n\r\nAll these new supplies and equipment has continued to show the kindness of donors not to just our school but to other schools I have read about who also got their projects fully funded.
