The dodgeballs, cones, hula hoops, and soft footballs arrived at just the right time, and my students—mostly 4th and 5th graders—have been using them every single day. We've already turned the cones and soft footballs into relay courses and small-sided games that get even my most reluctant movers running and understanding space. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has given every student a chance to feel successful and included, no matter their skill level. The dodgeballs have been a huge hit during our low-pressure dodgeball variations (everyone stays in, no eliminations), and the kids light up because they finally have enough equipment for full participation instead of taking turns or sitting out. I've noticed quieter students opening up more, volunteering to lead warm-ups, and asking if we can \"do the cone drills again\" at the end of class. These materials aren't toys—they're building confidence, teamwork, and a real love for being active.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning a mini \"PE Olympics\" unit where the kids will design their own stations using everything you provided, from hula hoop hurdles to dodgeball target challenges. I can't wait to see what they come up with and how much more they'll grow. Thank you again for giving my students these opportunities and for caring about their physical education.
