I truly cannot overstate how helpful these have been in my work with students. I use these games during evaluations and support sessions to help me understand how students think, communicate, and interact. Instead of everything feeling like a test, the games allow students to relax and be themselves, which gives me a much more accurate picture of their skills in areas like problem solving, attention, and social interaction.\r\n\r\nWhen I first introduced the games, the students were immediately excited. You could see the shift right away. What might have felt intimidating or stressful suddenly felt fun and safe. One moment that really stood out was a student who usually struggles to engage during formal tasks. When we played Headbandz, they opened up, laughed, and showed strong reasoning and communication skills without even realizing they were being observed. Moments like that are so meaningful and would not happen in the same way without these kinds of tools.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I will continue using these games during both evaluations and small group sessions. They are especially helpful for building skills like taking turns, managing frustration, and thinking flexibly. Your donation has made such a difference in helping me create a space where students feel comfortable, confident, and willing to try. Thank you for supporting my students in such a thoughtful and impactful way.","fullyFundedDate":1771118131473,"projectUrl":"project/small-games-big-insights/10042438/","projectTitle":"Small Games, Big Insights","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morgan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9714079_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724866248283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9714079"},{"teacherId":9714079,"projectId":9974442,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing the essential tools I need to support my students during the evaluation process. As a school psychologist, my \"classroom\" is often a small testing office where students are asked to perform challenging mental tasks. Having a steady supply of notebooks, folders, pens, and pencils has streamlined my ability to organize complex student files and ensure that every child has the proper tools to show their best work during assessments. These resources allow me to focus entirely on the student's needs rather than the logistics of missing supplies.\r\n\r\nThe snacks and prizes have been absolute game-changers for my rapport-building. I recently worked with a student who was incredibly anxious about testing and initially refused to enter the office. By offering a small snack and showing him the \"prize box\" he could access after our session, his guard dropped, He went from being shut down to being fully engaged in the tasks at hand. These incentives aren't just treats; they are vital tools that help regulated students feel safe, motivated, and capable in a high-pressure environment.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, I am excited to continue growing my skills in trauma-informed assessment. Your contribution has created a more welcoming, professional, and supportive environment for our most vulnerable learners.
