The visual cues and instant feedback capture students' attention, motivate participation, and help them build focus, coordination, and reaction skills in a fun and inclusive way.\r\n\r\nAs I've introduced BlazePods across other East Hartford schools, they've become a powerful tool for differentiation. They allow me to adapt lessons to meet a wide range of abilities, from students working on basic motor skills to those developing agility and teamwork. Most importantly, they help students experience success and confidence in movement — something that carries over into their classroom learning and social interactions.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support the BlazePods have become a unifying resource that supports equity, engagement, and joy in physical education for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1760604001781,"projectUrl":"project/building-lifelong-fitness-through-reacti/9801473/","projectTitle":"Building Lifelong Fitness Through Reaction and Agility Training","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jalbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7637375_orig.png?crop=282,282,x11,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631838873388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7637375"},{"teacherId":7637375,"projectId":9746323,"letterContent":"Thanks to our donors, we've been able to give every student a chance to move, connect, and build confidence through reaction and agility training.
