First my students thought they were just cute. When they were feeling overwhelmed a cute critter in the shoulder or in the lap really helped them ground themselves. The fidgets were really durable and very useful especially when taking a test or working on a big project. They were a great way to take a mini break and regroup then get back to work.

We recently organized a mini indoor or futsal soccer tournament where students not only practiced their technical skills but also learned about teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship. The new soccer balls, goals, scoreboard, and training gear have transformed our gym space into a dynamic and engaging environment for physical education classes and after-school activities.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nThe excitement was incredible! As soon as they walked in and saw the new equipment, their faces lit up with joy. Some students immediately started testing out the soccer balls, while others gathered around to check out the new goals. They couldn't wait to start playing, and their enthusiasm has carried over into every practice session since.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\nWe're now focusing on improving specific soccer skills, such as passing accuracy and defensive techniques, through structured drills. Additionally, we're working on a project where students analyze professional indoor soccer games and apply their observations to their own play. In the coming weeks, we hope to host friendly matches with other schools, giving our students the opportunity to showcase their growth and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThank you to all the donors who made this possible! Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our students, and we're excited to continue learning and growing through this project.","fullyFundedDate":1735426233981,"projectUrl":"project/futsal-club-at-hms/9010429/","projectTitle":"Futsal Club at HMS","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Julian Lopez Buitrago","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9268855_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694479809743","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9268855"},{"teacherId":8076676,"projectId":9071317,"letterContent":"This is exactly what we needed - some basic supplies to get us through the semester.
