The hula hoops and parachute/balls have been a hit for physical movement. They are being used every day.\r\n\r\nWe notice that when the students have a time to go outside and move that they do better when they return back to the classroom. Research tells us that crossing midline with physical movement helps with brain development and improves connections for learning and this is what we are aiming for!\r\n\r\nWe are so appreciative for your gift and of Dick's Sporting Goods for matching the donations to fully fund this grant.

Thank you so much for your generous donations for our students. They are so excited to be able to use the new balls and jump ropes during their physical movement time. Up until now, we have only had a few basketballs and hoops that they cannot reach for them to use.\r\n\r\nNow, the students are learning cooperative skills with the rubber P.E. balls (4 Square) and are really enjoying the time outdoors. As educators, we know that crossing mid-line is also a bonus when working with our young ones as their brains are still developing. It's a win/win and carries benefits right back into the classroom.\r\n\r\nLastly, I cannot thank Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation enough for their extreme generosity in matching the monetary gifts that were given. Without Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation's matching, our project may not have been funded. I love Dick's Sporting Goods and am happy to partner with them for my vocation as well as my personal needs.

We realized that there is a big gap in what students know in the way of life skills and this is a first step for many of our students in learning about money management.\r\n\r\nThe zippered money bags will be provided to the students when they learn personal budgeting. As a single parent and educator, I really appreciate the \"envelope method\" that my mother taught me long before anyone else was teaching this. It has enabled me to see where my money is going and has taught me how to invest and save. This method along with learning about bank accounts, credit cards, and loans (INTEREST!) will help our students to leave our school with valuable life skills. \r\n\r\nTo the Charles Schwab Foundation, I would like to personally thank you for your generous gift and your support! I am looking forward to helping our students expand their money management skills.
