Because of your generosity, our energetic and diverse group of students has been able to dive into structured, high-energy activities that truly challenge their physical abilities and build teamwork.\r\n\r\nThe agility cones and jump ropes have quickly become the cornerstones of our movement fundamentals. Whether our students are practicing intricate footwork for soccer skills, running shuttle races, or navigating obstacle courses, these tools have been instrumental in improving their reaction times, building speed, and strengthening their muscles to help prevent common injuries.\r\n\r\nOut on our wide-open field area, the megaphone has proven to be an essential tool for clear communication. It ensures that every student—no matter where they are on the field—can clearly hear instructions, stay safe, and fully participate in our fast-paced activities, all while saving our coaches from straining their voices.\r\n\r\nFinally, our weighted sloth friend has made a wonderful difference for moments when kids need a little extra support. Taking a quick few minutes with our weighted friend helps remind our students that it is completely okay to take a moment to calm down, decompress, and regain their composure.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' physical health, safety, and emotional well-being. Your kindness makes a lasting impact every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1778000831082,"projectUrl":"project/fast-feet-clear-directions-leveling-u/10116345/","projectTitle":"Fast Feet & Clear Directions: Leveling Up Our PE Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9976767_orig.jpg?crop=676,676,x0,y342&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742925500259","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/snivelytigers"},{"teacherId":521837,"projectId":10174433,"letterContent":"By funding this project you have added interest of reading for a class of excited little learners. They enjoyed reading books that peak their interests and loved the ways to express their book knowledge with the markers and colored pencils. \r\nAs a primary grade teacher, getting little ones to love books and reading is a real issue, but finding books and activities that make learning fun makes all the differeence. One of my little learners did not like books or reading, but once she heard a Pigeon book by Mo Williams she was hooked and now loves Pinkalicious too. \r\nThanks so much for supporting my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778000830814,"projectUrl":"project/i-can-choose-my-book/10174433/","projectTitle":"I Can Choose My Book!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rimes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp521837_orig.jpg?crop=2689,2689,x0,y250&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685107883526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kindergarten-giddens"},{"teacherId":10306513,"projectId":9811194,"letterContent":"It is with my most sincere gratitude that I say Thank YOU! As a teacher who retired and then came back to teaching 15 years later that I understand the impact of your incredible generosity. \r\n\r\n I had no teaching resources upon returning and I knew the importance of fun learning games. Students need to have the ability to enjoy learning, it inspires them to reach higher and know that they can learn and that learning new skills can be a fun adventure. \r\n\r\n It is because of your generosity that I was able to bring new ways to learn sight words, fun ways to learn math and to allow more social interactions for my students. \r\n\r\n They were so very excited to see brand new games and immediately ask to play them. Now it has become our Friday ritual and they often ask, \"how many more days till Friday.\" \r\n\r\n Again, without you and your generosity I could never have been able to bring the new and exciting ways to learn to my deserving students.","fullyFundedDate":1769192010433,"projectUrl":"project/ese-learning/9811194/","projectTitle":"ESE Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Driggers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10306513_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760056992905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10306513"},{"teacherId":8879672,"projectId":9807533,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity in donating to a project to help my students. The products that you purchased for our classroom has assisted the students already. Providing tangible items to help them with numbers, letters and words has made a remarkable difference in their learning. Many of the students have been struggling with speech and learning the basic curriculum. Working with the students daily, I have seen notable improvements in their speech and letter recognition. As well as their number sense. \r\n The students were excited to use the materials. We use them daily to improve their skills. We will continue using the products to improve and provide unique learning environment that will help the students learning by physical involvement and direct experience with the material, making learning more interactive, dynamic and memorable, helping them to be able to retain the letters and numbers.","fullyFundedDate":1762266382769,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-help/9807533/","projectTitle":"Literacy Help","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kilpatrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8879672_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y206&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715813156086","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8879672"},{"teacherId":9976767,"projectId":10059423,"letterContent":"The Gator Skin Special‑8 foam balls are already transforming our PE classes and recess time.

They were so excited that they were easy to grab and catch, and the student exclaimed, \"They are beautiful!\" \r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, students and the PE coaches both excitedly tested the light, grippy balls and immediately began inclusive games. Our coaches plan to use them in a unit on cooperative games and personal fitness goals: students will track improvement, rotate leadership roles, and practice safe play.
