My students were so sad when all of our PE & recess equipment disappeared through various reasons. Then we were down to our very last ball. With the new playground balls and soccer balls, my students were extremely excited! Especially my soccer players! They immediately want to take it out and use it. However, we had a talk about taking care of equipment and being responsible. PE is so much better with more equipment. Without the tools, it can't be done.

Therefore, we are now able to have 20 students playing rather than 4. Now my team can practice and be ready for the upcoming competition against other districts.

This project was funded and came at a great time. We were studying how to multiply fractions. Each of my students was able to have hands-on manipulatives to learn about the concept of multiplying fractions by fractions. You can see and feel the lightbulb light up. This was so much better than drawing it out and that's it, because they got to manipulate it with their hands. They can see the overlap of colors to create the product and get the ah-ha moment.
