This project gave life to those dreams for my students. \r\n\r\nWe will not begin this new unit until the spring and I am anxious with anticipation to watch the reactions of each student as they are able to take a more immersive look into exploring places far beyond our classroom walls.

Chess has quickly become a favorite indoor recess and enrichment activity, helping students strengthen their focus, patience, and problem-solving skills. Thanks to this donation, our students are not only having fun but also developing critical thinking and perseverance that will benefit them far beyond the game.","fullyFundedDate":1741899114119,"projectUrl":"project/its-your-move/9157741/","projectTitle":"It's Your Move","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hughes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3982677_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475819681972","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3982677"},{"teacherId":3982677,"projectId":9157816,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for the generous donation of basketballs, soccer balls, and jump ropes for our students.

For 8 weeks, students came to enjoy building friendships, social skills and taking turns as they participated for an hour of fun play! We had 78 students who learned games such as Mancala, Shut the Box and Hungry, Hungry Hippos as their first play at these games! You could feel the excitement and love during each session.\r\n\r\nWith the new school year starting, I have already had so many past game club students asking when we will start back up this year! This donation didn't just impact students last year, but will give students for decades the opportunity to have a fun outlet while learning some valuable skills. I was amazed at how many students had not ever played these simple games and this club gave them the opportunity to disconnect from devices and computers and socialize in a way students so desperately need!\r\n\r\nAgain, I cannot thank you enough for all of the love you have helped to build with students for decades to come!","fullyFundedDate":1741725073185,"projectUrl":"project/lifelong-friendships-and-social-skills/9149634/","projectTitle":"Lifelong Friendships and Social Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Katie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1618220_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539380300993","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lovestoteach"},{"teacherId":2482782,"projectId":9048123,"letterContent":"My students and I are so appreciative of your generous donation to our classroom.

Specifically, these materials allow for a fun and interactive learning opportunity where students feel motivated to learn in a developmentally appropriate way. These math manipulatives allow for purposeful play and provide an opportunity for students to explore, practice, test, and confirm what they know. In addition, these materials support problem solving, build independence, allow for creative learning, and develop motor movement.
