They gathered around, asked when they could start using them, and quickly began planning how they would set up teams.

It was powerful to see how quickly they transitioned from excitement into cooperation, making sure everyone had a chance to participate and be part of the game.","fullyFundedDate":1774454174984,"projectUrl":"project/goals-for-goals-kicking-up-fun-at-reces/10077749/","projectTitle":"Goals for Goals: Kicking Up Fun at Recess","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3280833_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778726166885","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3280833"},{"teacherId":10060939,"projectId":9426285,"letterContent":"Your donations have already been a huge help.
