Before these items were purchased, many played with a football a student brought from home, on the playground, or just walked around. On the first day they had these materials, there was not one student that was not engaged in some group activity. This was such a heartwarming experience to watch as their teacher. Not only did their faces light up when they saw what had come for them, but their imaginations ran wild with how many new activities they now had the opportunity of participating in at recess. Every child was involved and interacting with others for the duration of recess. In a world where physical activity is becoming less and less, to see each student running and playing while also feeling part of a group was something that cannot begin to be recounted. It was a magical moment that has continued to carry on with these materials. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for choosing my students to make this impact on and helping them find an activity they can enjoy during recess time.","fullyFundedDate":1790982479908,"projectUrl":"project/recess-essentials-for-5th-graders/10694162/","projectTitle":"Recess essentials for 5th graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Heiser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10692773"},{"teacherId":10426788,"projectId":10078230,"letterContent":"This new resource is allowing my students to work at my teacher table and move in a safe way.
