When rainy days or cold weather keep us indoors, recess can be a challenge, and your kindness is helping turn those moments into something positive and joyful. Because of you, my third graders now have engaging, screen-free options that help them relax, reset, and connect with one another in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe board and card games you helped provide—like Candy Land, Uno, Guess Who, and more—are already making a big impact. Students are practicing turn-taking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, all while having fun and building friendships. These games are more than just a way to pass the time; they support social growth and create a stronger classroom community. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping make our classroom a happier, more connected place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1768122841032,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-recess-games-to-keep-kids-off-scr/9956897/","projectTitle":"Indoor Recess Games to Keep Kids Off Screens","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nance","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1833954_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521651372082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/morgan-nance"},{"teacherId":1833954,"projectId":9673072,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom.
