When the boxes arrived, the excitement in our classroom was electric. As we unpacked the Marble Run, Guess Who, Checkers, Connect Four, and other games, my students were buzzing with anticipation. One of the most heartwarming moments was watching a group of students immediately huddle around the Marble Run; they spent the entire afternoon collaborating, testing different heights, and cheering whenever the marble successfully reached the bottom. \r\n\r\nBeyond the games, the snacks you provided have been a total game-changer during our standardized testing days. Having a stash of \"brain fuel\" has noticeably lowered my students' stress levels and helped them stay focused and energized through long morning sessions.\r\n\r\nThese resources are doing so much more than just providing entertainment. We are currently using the board games to practice social-emotional skills like turn-taking, strategic thinking, and graceful winning and losing. For many of my students, \"Guess Who\" (animal and people version!) has become a favorite tool for improving their descriptive language and deductive reasoning. \r\n\r\nYour contribution has truly transformed our classroom environment into a more joyful, supportive place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1775100609001,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-games/10177951/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arika","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1502963_orig.png?crop=677,677,x0,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632249344202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/arika-traiforos"},{"teacherId":1502963,"projectId":10177374,"letterContent":"We are so incredibly grateful for your generosity in bringing these board games into our classroom! When the packages arrived and students unpacked the Marble Run, Guess Who, and Connect Four sets, the room erupted into genuine cheers. Your contribution didn't just buy boxes and plastic pieces... it bought us a whole new way to connect and learn together.\r\n\r\nSince the games arrived, our mornings have been completely transformed. Students are eager to come in the room to play with their classmates. I have seen an increase of student-to-student dialogue as well as more flexible groupings; students stepping out of their established peer groups to play a game with other classmates. Just yesterday, I watched two students who rarely interact spend 10 minutes playing a bilingual game of Guess Who. I have also enjoyed playing Taco Gato Cabra Queso Pizza with groups of students. : - )\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our joy and our education!","fullyFundedDate":1775066012956,"projectUrl":"project/board-games-for-bonding/10177374/","projectTitle":"Board Games for Bonding","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arika","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1502963_orig.png?crop=677,677,x0,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632249344202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/arika-traiforos"},{"teacherId":7487211,"projectId":9723368,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your donation.
