The new balls and rolling cart have made it much easier for students to access equipment quickly and have more choices during recess.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were ecstatic! Almost immediately, games started happening all over the playground. Students were playing volleyball, four-square, tetherball, kickball, basketball, and other group games. It was wonderful to see and hear them happily playing, laughing, and getting their energy out in a positive way.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming parts of this project has been watching friendships grow through shared interests. For example, I saw a group of students working together to play volleyball, some of whom I had not seen playing together before. They were communicating, taking turns in various positions, encouraging one another, and practicing teamwork without even realizing it.\r\n\r\nThis project has also had a positive impact in the classroom. After recess, students are returning more focused, refreshed, and ready to learn. Having the chance to move their bodies and connect with others has helped make recess a more positive and productive part of their school day.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of creating these joyful moments for our students. Your kindness has helped give them more opportunities to move, play, build friendships, and return to class ready to do their best.","fullyFundedDate":1773426879496,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-out-recess-fun/10130163/","projectTitle":"Rolling Out Recess Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Meno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5479702_orig.jpg?crop=358,358,x67,y107&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677208047734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5479702"},{"teacherId":9739517,"projectId":9798395,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our kindergarten classroom!

These materials allow students to explore math concepts through play, collaboration, and hands-on discovery.

Hands-on activities encourage teamwork, independence, and perseverance while helping students develop a love for learning at an early age.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is giving our young learners the support and resources they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

Short, chunky writing implements (like the ones you funded) require a student to hold the implement closer to the page, which provides more motor control. \r\n\r\nThe improvements I will describe here may sound small, but I can assure you they are monumental for us.\r\n\r\nStudent #1: Before your donation, he couldn't apply adequate pressure to make marks on the paper. Now, with his slant board and shortened markers, he makes confident circles on his morning worksheets and even has a signature color (Raspberry)!\r\n\r\nStudent #2: This student would only write by placing his hand over mine, while I held and moved a tall marker. Now... he is WRITING HIS FIRST NAME INDEPENDENTLY. He, his family, and I are all just blown away by his confidence!\r\n\r\nStudent #3: This student often gets overwhelmed in the classroom and had been screaming/running around to regulate. Now when she needs a break, she quietly gathers a notebook and her box of shortened markers and colors until she feels ready to rejoin the group. Having access to her own, developmentally appropriate tools has helped her mature in ways I could not have anticipated.","fullyFundedDate":1761594915193,"projectUrl":"project/lets-support-the-handwriting-skills-of/9860229/","projectTitle":"Let's Support the Handwriting Skills of Students With Autism!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10053197_orig.jpg?crop=1195,1195,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749514830486","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10053197"},{"teacherId":2527266,"projectId":9933749,"letterContent":"Due to your generous donations of playground equipment we have plenty of activities for kids to choose during recess.
