These two things combined make for a great dancer and many, many questions. Your kind donation has helped us to create a spark in some of our young students. Seeing Filipino Tinikling poles for the first time, made the students want to learn about the Filipino dance history. Moving their bodies not only in their own space but relaying on the stick holders rhythms and the other partner within their space to move correctly was challenging, but my students strived to learn new things. It gave them a respect for the folk dances of different countries. Many mistakes made them work harder at their motion but also create a stronger team. \r\nThe tap shoes were the most fun. My 6th graders wanted to put on a show the minute they saw the shoes. Tap shoes influence a dancer's ability to move and the transfer between potential and kinetic energy during movements. These physical principles create expressive motions like leaps, balances, and turns, transforming basic mechanics into art.\r\nYour donations helps our students now but the STEM concepts will stay with them forever.","fullyFundedDate":1769710293467,"projectUrl":"project/physics-of-movement/9779099/","projectTitle":"Physics of Movement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Scime","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9333320_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y66&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732653512415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-scime-dance"},{"teacherId":9042825,"projectId":10027587,"letterContent":"This new table has been a game changer for my therapy sessions.
