The nets and balls came in a carrying case which makes transporting super easy! Many of the students have or will be joining after school soccer leagues so this gives them a great chance to practice and show up some of their skills like \"dribbling\", \"passing\", and \"control.\" \r\nBeing able to get outside and use big muscles is essential to our PreK day- it helps students stay regulated and focused when it is time to be indoors and focus in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1777052191070,"projectUrl":"project/running-jumping-and-swinging-in-prek/10193886/","projectTitle":"Running, Jumping, and Swinging in PreK","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9065764_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y201&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686484708947","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msambersprek"},{"teacherId":9065764,"projectId":10154390,"letterContent":"I was planning to hold off on opening our classroom library until at least a month into the new school year, but the students were just too excited to take home our new books!\r\nMy students requested The Food Group series by Jory John which focuses on social-emotional learning, mental health, and positive change.

Your kindness and support have made a meaningful difference in the learning environment we provide for our students each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our health classroom is now equipped with engaging workbooks, vibrant colored pencils, and an electric sharpener that helps keep our materials organized and ready for learning. These items may seem simple, but to our students, they represent opportunity, creativity, and care. Having their own workbooks allows students to actively participate in lessons, practice important skills, and reflect on what they are learning about their bodies, emotions, and healthy choices. The colored pencils bring excitement and creativity to each activity, helping students express themselves while reinforcing key health concepts in a fun and age-appropriate way.\r\n\r\nThe electric sharpener has already become a classroom favorite! It saves valuable instructional time and helps students stay focused and prepared. Small tools like this make a big difference in maintaining a smooth, positive learning environment—especially for young learners who thrive on structure and routine.\r\n\r\nYour donation directly supports our goal of teaching children lifelong healthy habits. In our health classroom, students learn about nutrition, physical activity, emotional wellness, decision-making, and respect for themselves and others. With the resources you provided, we are able to create lessons that are interactive, hands-on, and engaging for all learners. These materials help ensure that every student feels included, prepared, and excited to participate.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your generosity sends a powerful message to our students: that their education matters and that their community believes in them. When children see adults investing in their learning, it builds confidence, motivation, and a sense of belonging. Your support helps foster not only academic growth, but also emotional and social development.\r\n\r\nThank you for taking the time to support our elementary health program. Your donation has had an immediate and lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly grateful for your partnership. We look forward to putting these materials to continued use as we help our students grow into healthy, confident, and capable individuals.","fullyFundedDate":1767048678880,"projectUrl":"project/health-extras/9953364/","projectTitle":"Health Extras","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aguanno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8123678"},{"teacherId":524281,"projectId":9659864,"letterContent":"Your generosity has created a space that has quickly become the heart of our middle school's positive culture—a place where hard work meets a well-deserved reward.\r\n\r\nThe lounge isn't just about fun; it is a powerful tool for student achievement.
