We pick out specific things we can do in the moment and things we can do before and after a situation. The students see they they are not alone in these experiences.

The children in all the classrooms enjoy playing soccer! Our coach takes more time to explain the rules of the game and all the particulars because he knows the children are so inclined to play any time they can. Therefore, he wants to make sure that everyone understands how to play fairly and appropriately. With soccer goal posts, pinnies for two teams & referees along with durable soccer balls, our students play soccer everyday! They love it!\r\n\r\nEveryday, different classes take turns placing the goal posts out into the lower field and collecting them before school is out. I wash the pinnies biweekly and make sure the balls and vests are ready for daily use.\r\n\r\nTruly, it's is a wonderful joy to see how the students take pleasure in this sport.

Because of you, my fifth graders now have access to high-quality equipment that we are using during physical education, recess, and structured team-building activities. One of the first moments that stood out was seeing students organize their own teams, review rules together, and encourage one another before the game even started. What might seem like a simple game quickly became a powerful opportunity for collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new equipment, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to try everything out and took pride in using materials that felt \"official\" and special. More importantly, the equipment helped set clear expectations for fair play and teamwork. Students who don't always feel confident in sports were more willing to participate, and classmates naturally stepped into leadership roles—explaining rules, resolving disagreements, and cheering each other on.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps include using kickball as part of ongoing lessons about sportsmanship, conflict resolution, and respectful competition. Students are learning how to win and lose gracefully, support their teammates, and take responsibility for shared equipment. Your contribution has gone far beyond physical activity—it has helped create a more inclusive, cooperative, and joyful environment for our students. Thank you for giving our class this meaningful experience.","fullyFundedDate":1765205088408,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-learn-through-play-and/9728000/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Learn Through Play and Movement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9101443_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758213262280","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9101443"},{"teacherId":2217744,"projectId":9711916,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our Healthy Snacks for Focused Minds project.
