With the new equipment—including cones, agility ladders, jump ropes, and a variety of balls—we've been able to implement a wider range of engaging activities that promote teamwork, coordination, and physical fitness. One memorable project was our \"Fitness Circuit Challenge,\" where students rotated through different stations focused on cardio, strength, and balance. It was amazing to watch them motivate each other and push themselves to try new exercises.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, the excitement was immediate. There were cheers, big smiles, and lots of \"Can we try this now?\" moments. For many of them, it was the first time they had access to high-quality gear, and it made a big difference in their confidence and participation. They felt like real athletes and couldn't wait to dive in.\r\n\r\nNext up, we're using the new resources to launch a mini-unit on goal-setting and personal fitness tracking. Students will be learning how to set realistic fitness goals, track their progress over time, and reflect on their personal growth. The equipment allows for more variety and inclusivity, so every student can find activities that they enjoy and feel successful in. Thank you for giving our students the tools to move, grow, and thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1744128956661,"projectUrl":"project/pe-adventures-in-coach-alecs-class/9235586/","projectTitle":"P.E Adventures in Coach Alec's Class","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Alec","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9926795"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95415","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":480,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":49,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.9,"schoolId":95415,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about SSA East K-8 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"SSA East K-8","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/daisy-education-corporation/sonoran-science-academy-broadway/95415"}
