You helped purchase books for my students. When the books arrived, the children were so excited. They love looking at the pictures and listening to the story. The books are all hard back which also last longer with the younger grades. In the resource room, books are so important and it's always nice to add to our library. \r\n\r\nYour support makes a big difference in our classroom.

During our lessons, students are learning the rules, how to serve and return the ball, how to rotate through the squares, and most importantly, how to demonstrate teamwork, fairness, and good sportsmanship. One of my favorite moments was watching students encourage one another as they practiced for the first time. When they first saw the new four square balls, they were excited and eager to get started. Many students immediately recognized the game, while others were curious to learn how to play. Their enthusiasm made the lesson fun, active, and engaging.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building students' four square skills through practice, small-group games, and class challenges. As students become more confident with the rules and strategies, they will be encouraged to use these skills independently during recess. The four square playground balls donated to our program will give students another positive way to stay physically active, socialize with classmates, solve small conflicts, and practice good sportsmanship outside of PE class. Our goal is for students to take what they learn during PE and turn four square into a recess game they can organize and enjoy together. Thank you to our donors for providing the equipment that makes these meaningful learning experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1785618050113,"projectUrl":"project/keep-4-square-alive-in-schools/10422410/","projectTitle":"Keep 4- Square Alive in schools!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tower","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7610081_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689019810700","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msquery"},{"teacherId":7610081,"projectId":10319923,"letterContent":"Our students have been so excited to use the new basketballs, footballs, and soccer balls we received! These resources have allowed us to introduce and practice a variety of team sports during PE class. Students are learning important skills such as dribbling, passing, catching, shooting, and ball control while participating in fun, age-appropriate activities and games. Having enough equipment available also means that more students can be actively involved at the same time, giving everyone more opportunities to practice and build confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new equipment, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to get moving, try out the different sports, and work together with their classmates. Beyond developing their physical skills, the equipment is helping us focus on teamwork, communication, sportsmanship, and encouraging others—all important lessons that extend beyond the gym.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building these foundational skills and gradually introduce more team-based activities and modified games. As students become more comfortable with basketball, football, and soccer skills, they will have opportunities to apply what they have learned in small-sided games that emphasize cooperation, strategy, and fair play. We are incredibly grateful to our donors for providing resources that help keep our students active, engaged, and excited about learning through physical education!","fullyFundedDate":1781618615045,"projectUrl":"project/helping-kids-be-active-through-team-spor/10319923/","projectTitle":"Helping kids be active through team sports","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tower","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7610081_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689019810700","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msquery"},{"teacherId":8123508,"projectId":10192175,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Pre-K classroom by providing new outdoor gross motor materials!
