With the addition of the workout machines, students were not only able to stay active but also learned valuable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and setting personal fitness goals—all through play and movement.\r\n\r\nThe workout stations transformed our exercise unit into a truly engaging experience. My students, who are naturally energetic and curious, embraced the challenge with enthusiasm. They took pride in using the equipment and quickly began encouraging one another, turning every session into an opportunity to grow both physically and socially.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project helped instill a positive mindset toward health and fitness at an early age—something they will carry with them beyond Pre-K. It fostered confidence, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment, laying the foundation for lifelong healthy habits. Watching their faces light up with excitement as they exercised was a daily reminder of how powerful and meaningful this project truly was.","fullyFundedDate":1742905629387,"projectUrl":"project/spring-into-fitness/9189038/","projectTitle":"Spring into Fitness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Addario","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4731876_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692791403829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alexa-addario"},{"teacherId":4731876,"projectId":9308308,"letterContent":"Our Pre‑K class could hardly contain their excitement when our brand-new ice cream maker and all the colorful sprinkles arrived!
