Even though they are Juniors and Seniors, they genuinely love these resources in class. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I have set up the soccer goals in the grass area outside. Students are playing soccer during every single lunch. I have noticed a few students who usually sit by themselves join in. I know that this activity means a lot to students. Having beautiful brand new athletic equipment makes students want to play. \r\n\r\nI have also put out the basketballs at lunch to replace the nearly flat ones we had before.
