Our playground has plenty of space, but we didn't have much equipment to fill it. Thanks to the donations received, we were able to provide choices for students to move their bodies, problem solve and collaborate. \r\n\r\nWe have used the cones and balls frequently, but the jumpropes need a little more love. We have dedicated time each week to learning how to use an individual jumprope and a longer one to be used in a larger group. These items have my students moving, falling and getting back up. \r\n\r\nThis donation helped me motivate my students to get up and go. They are taking turns and learning how to care for outside equipment. Now, we are finding ways to use the supplies to find movement with our indoor learning. We are looking forward to cooler weather to add in some extra play and movement in our day.","fullyFundedDate":1778452944182,"projectUrl":"project/play-and-learn-in-tk/10196452/","projectTitle":"Play and Learn in TK","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sepulveda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4761145_orig.jpg?crop=398,398,x0,y163&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720042632166","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gabysepulveda"},{"teacherId":4761145,"projectId":10208825,"letterContent":"We received our sensory table before we left for summer break.
