By engaging in hands on activities, students will practice important skills such as patience, empathy, and respect while learning to celebrate each other's successes. These games foster meaningful social interaction by encouraging conversation, laughter, and cooperation among peers. Instead of beginning the day with screens or electronics, students will have the opportunity to connect face to face, building stronger relationships and creating a positive sense of belonging within the classroom. Morning choice becomes more than just a time to play, it becomes a foundation for strengthening emotional well being, promoting inclusion, and giving every student a chance to feel seen and valued.\r\n\r\nBeyond social emotional growth, the donated games also encourage collaboration and teamwork, skills that are essential both inside and outside of the classroom. Students will learn how to work together, compromise, and share responsibility while having fun in a low pressure environment. This positive start to the morning helps reduce stress and creates a welcoming atmosphere where students feel excited and ready to learn. Beginning the day with joyful interaction sets the tone for academic success, as students transition into their lessons focused, confident, and energized. These games truly help students start the day off right, setting them up for a successful and fulfilling day of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1756150754555,"projectUrl":"project/for-the-love-of-weekday-mornings/9528384/","projectTitle":"For the Love of Weekday Mornings!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gubinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3504424_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708350671496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3504424"},{"teacherId":979198,"projectId":9055319,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of kindness journals for my class to accompany our reading of the novel, Wonder.

This has led to some heartfelt discussions and a greater sense of camaraderie among classmates.
