Reach Full Potential With P.E. Essentials
Funded May 15, 2022It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward the many "P.E. Essentials" for our classroom. My students were so excited to use the new materials we received. Students are saying how much fun my class is when I play music using the bluetooth speaker while they workout. The fitness equipment (straight bar and ankle straps) allow for more versatile stations on the universal machine to work different muscles. Having a reliable air pump is also helpful in inflating the many balls my students use to practice a variety of sport skills. These items will continue to be used for years to come.
We are so grateful for all the donations we received. Your generosity, support, and investment in our classroom is so appreciated.”

Funded Dec 20, 2021Thank you for your generous donations to my project, "Healthy Lifestyle at the Core". My students were eager to finally be able to use the benches. These two benches have added a new station to the fitness room allowing my students to develop core strength. This equipment has had direct impact on my students' overall engagement throughout their workout. With this new addition, there is less wait time in between work stations.
I am so grateful to be able to teach lessons that influence my students' health in a positive way. It was made possible because of you.”

Funded Nov 9, 2021Thank you for your generous donations to my project, "Fitness Fun With Floor Hockey". Incorporating floor hockey into my lessons has made a direct impact on my students. Students have learned new skills such as: ball handling using the floor hockey sticks, facing off before the start of the game, passing to a teammate and shooting to score a goal.
My students were super excited when I showed them the new equipment. Although the majority of my students had never played floor hockey, they caught on quickly to the skills and game. They were self-motivated to move more and stay active; improving their overall fitness.
A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed and continue to make education a priority.”

Funded Oct 3, 2021Thank you for your generous donations to my project "Capturing Movement With IPAD AIR!". Incorporating the IPAD into my lessons has made a direct impact on student learning. This device has helped me give specific feedback to students to correct mistakes made during skill practice while participating in my physical education classes. It also allows my dance students the opportunity to see their movements since I do not have mirrors. Furthermore, lesson planning has been a breeze using the IPAD.
Indirectly, my students are more motivated than ever to learn sport skills because they get excited when I share videos of their peers performing skills correctly. Many of them want to be featured in a video so they practice more often. This in turn impacts the amount of time they exercise daily improving their overall health.
Working with this device has helped in so many ways and will continue to do so for years to come. A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed and continue to make a difference in a child's life.”

Funded May 29, 2020Due to COVID-19, many of my students felt isolated. Thanks to all of the donors that chose this project that enabled me to create decals, stickers, t-shirts, cards, bookmarks, and classroom decorations to brighten up my students' day and turn their daily outlook on life into a positive one. It is with great pride that I share with you the impact you have made for my students by allowing me to purchase the Cricut Explore Air 2 and the accessories. First, I created floor paw print decals for my students to socially distance in the classroom. This created a reference point for my students to complete their exercise routine in a safe manner. Next, school decals have been made and distributed to students that are both physically in the classroom as well as online learning. This created unity and school spirit amongst my students. We were also able to make custom t-shirts for my dance class. Personalized notes and bookmarks have shown my students that they are not alone and can reach out to me. This has created that special bond between teacher and student which has been extremely difficult especially with the online students.
As stated in the name of my project, I was able to "connect" with my students as we "cope" with this pandemic and adapt to the many changes it continues to bring. Together as a Bobcat Family, we will continue to succeed because of your support. A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed and continue to make a difference in this world.”
