The poly spots have been fantastic for establishing spatial awareness and setting up structured activity stations, while the bean bags and hula hoops have added engaging ways to practice coordination, teamwork, and active play. Having the right equipment on hand allows our students to dive right into our movement challenges keeping them fully engaged, active, and excited to participate.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are using these essential items to build out dynamic obstacles and cooperative team games in our upcoming unit. With these brand-new supplies secured, my students can focus entirely on developing their physical skills and building healthy habits hands-on. Your support has made a direct, positive impact on our physical education program, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1790388216066,"projectUrl":"project/silvehawk-resupply/10647425/","projectTitle":"Silvehawk Resupply","teacherDisplayName":"Coach SIlva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10668128"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13774","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":39.7,"schoolId":13774,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Desertaire Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Desertaire Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/ysleta-independent-school-district/desertaire-elementary-school/13774"}
