Students take the planner home to review the work with their families each Friday to show them and discuss what they have completed in class.

Our summertime really begins in late August into early October and our classrooms get HOT! The kids are so grateful to be able to be cooled off in our room on hot days. Having cool bodies means that they can have cool minds and are ready to learn. They are so much more excited to come into the room after recess, lunch, or PE knowing that they won't be sitting in a space heater of a room. When I opened the box for them, they were so grateful and happy to plug these fans in. They love turning the fans on full blast and pretending that they are going to blow away from the strength of the air. They also like to take turns shoving their faces as close as possible for 5 seconds, then letting their friend do the same thing. It's really cute to see how they work together to make sure that everyone is staying cool, calm, and collected.","fullyFundedDate":1746785490341,"projectUrl":"project/calm-cool-and-collected/9089024/","projectTitle":"Calm, Cool, and Collected","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leach","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9835543_orig.jpg?crop=817,817,x1122,y216&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733243588004","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9835543"},{"teacherId":3284921,"projectId":9254818,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity in helping us fund this project to give our student leis on the day of promotion.

It was a heartwarming moment that highlighted the positive impact your contribution has made. \r\n\r\nWith the new equipment, we've started incorporating flag football into our PE lessons. One memorable day was when we played our first scrimmage game with my students and students from other classes. This activity has not only fostered physical fitness but has also become a fun and collaborative way for students to build connections and confidence. To see the students running around in the sun warmed my heart. So many of my students adore football and love playing it and are so excited to play it at school. \r\n\r\nAs we move forward, I'm planning to integrate lessons on sportsmanship and the fundamentals of football into our PE curriculum, combining physical activity with character education.
