I love how the universe aligned and the games arrived on our first scheduled Math Mental Health Day. It was perfect timing! We work so hard in the classroom learning a theorem for each lesson and we rarely take breaks in my class. It was awesome to have such a variety of games for the students to use on September 30th. They were so happy! The room was filled with laughter and joy! \r\n\r\nSince getting the games I have seen new friendships form and shy students open up more to their classmates. These board games have changed the dynamics in our classroom. Thank you for adding to the positive atmosphere in the class. The students look forward to math class! They know that the class is a balance of hard work and a deserved day of relaxation and connection. Students make connections, tell jokes, smile, and make memories. They are making new friends and finding that hard work pays off.\r\n\r\nI also noticed that I can use the games as a carrot! The students will work towards a common goal if they know that the reward will be some time to relax. I never thought of using the games as positive reinforcement, but I now see what a powerful motivator the games are for students! Now that I see that games can be used in a variety of ways, I wonder how else I can use the games? I am always inspired in so many ways and I hope these games bring about new inspiration in the months to come. \r\n\r\nThank you for caring for my students. I can assure you the games are loved by so many. Your generosity has brought so much joy to so many students. I wish you could hear the room erupt with laughter. It would bring a smile to your face.","fullyFundedDate":1758809375935,"projectUrl":"project/board-games-for-forever-memories/9391241/","projectTitle":"Board Games for Forever Memories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7326656_orig.jpg?crop=533,534,x0,y64&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594782253521","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7326656"},{"teacherId":987198,"projectId":9755603,"letterContent":"Thank you so so very much for your help.

Your contribution made it possible for my students to receive essential learning tools for our AVID class. \r\n\r\nWith these materials, my students are better able to stay organized, annotate readings effectively, and engage in focused note-taking during tutorials and college readiness activities. The highlighters help them identify key ideas and connections in complex texts, while the Post-it notes allow for collaborative discussions and goal setting. The multi-ink pens have become a favorite — students use different colors to code their Cornell Notes, track revisions, and plan their writing.\r\n\r\nBeyond the academic benefits, these supplies have helped build a sense of pride and ownership in their learning. Many of my students come from families that cannot always provide extra school materials, so having access to quality supplies makes them feel supported and valued.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in public education and investing in my students' future.
