These devices have truly transformed the way my students engage with fitness, helping them develop a deeper understanding of their health and physical activity. The ability to track steps, heart rate, and active minutes has made exercise more interactive and meaningful for our students. They now come to class excited to challenge themselves and set personal goals, which has significantly boosted participation and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nSince incorporating the fitness watches, I've noticed increased motivation across all grade levels. Students are more aware of how movement affects their bodies, and many have taken ownership of their fitness journeys—both in and out of school. We've been able to introduce goal-setting activities, data reflection, and friendly competitions that promote both individual growth and teamwork. Your support has not only provided valuable tools but has also inspired a culture of health and wellness that will benefit our students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1742056996559,"projectUrl":"project/each-watch-donated-can-increase-a-studen/9123012/","projectTitle":"Each Watch Donated Can Increase a Student's Fitness Level","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brower","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9928085_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y714&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740068784785","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9928085"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_688","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":969,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":34,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.4,"schoolId":688,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 186 Dr Irving Gladstone on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 186 Dr Irving Gladstone","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-186-dr-irving-gladstone/688"}
