We kicked off a bowling tournament, and it was amazing to see how engaged the students became, competing in teams and cheering each other on. The level of excitement was contagious, and the students who don't typically shine in traditional sports really came alive in this activity.\r\n\r\nWhen the new equipment arrived—soccer balls, pickleball sets, and even chess games—there was an instant buzz in the gym. The students were particularly excited about the pickleball sets and immediately wanted to give them a try. They were fascinated by the different strategies they could use, and it created a really fun, collaborative atmosphere in class. The new volleyballs and soccer balls also opened up a whole new world of skill-building. Many of the students who have never played volleyball before are now actively learning the fundamentals and feeling confident enough to try new drills.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're focusing on building well-rounded skills across a variety of sports, from soccer to pickleball to volleyball. We'll be working on developing teamwork, communication, and strategy while also improving individual skills like passing, serving, and spiking. My next big goal is to organize a mini-tournament where students can use the different sports we've explored, showcasing the teamwork and sportsmanship they've developed. The addition of the chess games has also provided a nice balance, allowing students to take part in a mental challenge during cooler-down periods, teaching them critical thinking and patience.\r\n\r\nThe new resources have made such a difference in fostering engagement and excitement in PE. I can already see the growth in the students' teamwork, fitness levels, and overall enjoyment. They are looking forward to trying out new activities, and I'm excited to see how they continue to grow throughout the semester.","fullyFundedDate":1725552578420,"projectUrl":"project/el-reto-de-los-campeones/8738785/","projectTitle":"El reto de los campeones","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9729641"},{"teacherId":9731778,"projectId":8742120,"letterContent":"Gracias por las donaciones. Gracias a ellas los estudiantes se han beneficiado en gran manera en la sala de clase. Recibir las donaciones de impresoras y juegos de mesa ha tenido un impacto muy positivo en mi clase de primer grado. Las impresoras nos permiten realizar materiales educativos de forma rápida y económica, lo que ha facilitado la personalización de actividades y la impresión de recursos que hacen más atractiva y dinámica el aprendizaje de los niños. Ahora puedo crear ejercicios, actividades visuales y proyectos que refuerzan los conceptos de manera más efectiva, permitiendo que los estudiantes se involucren de una forma más activa en su proceso educativo.\r\n\r\nAdemás, los juegos de mesa han sido una excelente herramienta durante los días de lluvia, cuando el recreo se ve interrumpido. Estos juegos no solo ofrecen una forma de entretenimiento, sino que también fomentan habilidades sociales como la cooperación, el respeto por las reglas y la resolución de conflictos. Los niños disfrutan mucho de estos momentos, y he notado una mejora en su capacidad para trabajar en equipo y en su concentración, lo cual también repercute positivamente en su rendimiento académico. En resumen, estas donaciones han mejorado tanto el ambiente de aprendizaje como el bienestar emocional de los estudiantes.","fullyFundedDate":1725983778385,"projectUrl":"project/creacin-para-primer-grado/8742120/","projectTitle":"Creación Para Primer Grado","teacherDisplayName":"Sra.

Pudieron observar su piel, hojas y sucio de los pupitres u otras cosas. La utilización de las lupas les causó emoción al poder utilizar esa herramienta científica. También pudieron pesar objetos pequeños para verificar cuál tenía mas peso.

Se sintieron jardineros al poder plantar semillas y verlas crecer en los envases que se utilizaron.\r\n\r\nEn la clase de matemáticas pudieron utilizar los manipulativos como los cubitos, ositos o palitos de diferentes formas para sumar o restar y así hacer cálculos matemáticos. También pudieron utiizar los maipulativos de la recta numérica para realizar sumas o restas. El tener manipulativos de monedas físicamente les permitió tener correspondencia real de la vida diaria.\r\n\r\nEn la clase de español pudieron utilizar las letras para formar palabras.
