I can not begin to describe what an amazing impact this had had on my students and my classes as a whole. These uniforms have allowed me to place students in color coded groups, as well as teams. This is very impactful with the lower level grades K-2 because its an opportunity for me to teach them their primary colors. It also awesome for the upper elementary grade levels because I can have scrimmages and they also like the fact that the tank tops are numbered.
