The large size and lighter weight of the soccer balls make it easier for everyone to participate, regardless of physical ability, and the tetherballs provide a fun, engaging way to build coordination, teamwork, and confidence. Already, we've seen smiles, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment as students try new games and discover what they can do.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a more inclusive, active, and joyful learning environment.

One student said, \"We're real scientists now!\" It was such a powerful reminder of how much your support truly matters.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the new resources in our unit on Human Impact on the Environment. One of our favorite activities was creating models and simulations to show how pollution, deforestation, and climate change affect ecosystems. Students used the materials to build small-scale environments and then introduced variables to observe cause and effect. It sparked deep conversations about sustainability, responsibility, and how their choices affect the planet.\r\n\r\nNext, we're diving into a unit on conservation and renewable resources, where students will be challenged to come up with real-world solutions to reduce negative human impact. They'll be using the new supplies for research, experimentation, and presentations that show their findings—and their hopes for a healthier planet.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our science classroom is no longer limited by what we talk about—we now get to explore, test, and experience science firsthand.
