Thanks to your generosity we have equipment to last us the year for many different activities. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the different types of balls we received, they were so excited. Our first day we went out and played their favorite game, dodgeball. The students love dodgeball because they have a chance to throw something at their friends that will not hurt. The foam balls make it easy for everyone to take turns and not fear getting out. \r\n\r\nThe class also loves the soccer, volleyball, and basketballs. Volleyball has been the sport of choice lately, watching the students learn to volley has been a lot of fun. We will be beginning a basketball unit soon and that will hopefully lead to many of our sixth graders trying out for our school basketball team this spring. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity.
