To start, the anticipation for these goals was through the roof. The students asked me every day when they were going to arrive. Finally, the day came, and it was the most amazing feeling. \r\nUnfortunately, we had quite a wet fall. It took us a few days to put them up once they arrived, and when we did, the students showed up! Despite the muddy ground, they all ran to the goals and began to play. What amazed me was the cooperation between the students. I have seen our inclusion efforts soar through sports, especially soccer. \r\nThis has not only impacted my classroom, but the entire school. Students are so excited for recess and quickly begin a pickup game of soccer. I cannot wait until the spring so we can begin a club sport. \r\nThank you so much for your generosity.
