My students are already putting the 10 volleyballs and 5 soccer balls to great use. We are using the volleyballs to learn and practice the fundamentals of volleyball, including passing, setting, serving, and working with partners and small groups. The soccer balls will also allow us to practice dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork. Having enough equipment for students to actively participate makes a huge difference because students spend less time waiting and more time practicing their skills.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new equipment, they were immediately excited and wanted to start playing. One of my favorite moments was seeing students encourage each other and celebrate when they successfully completed a pass or learned a new skill. The new equipment has helped create an even more active and positive environment in our PE classes.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building our students' skills while also focusing on teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. As students become more comfortable with the basic skills, we will begin using them in small-sided games and activities where they can make decisions, work with teammates, and apply what they have learned. Because of your generosity, our students have more opportunities to practice, improve, and experience the joy of being active. Thank you for investing in our students and helping make these experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1782754685840,"projectUrl":"project/better-equipment-for-better-practice/10297935/","projectTitle":"Better Equipment for Better Practice!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. De Leon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10510514"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95307","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":293,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":95307,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ricardo Flores Magon Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ricardo Flores Magon Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/colorado-charter-school-institute/ricardo-flores-magon-academy/95307"}
