This is when students focus on skills they need to work on, and these games have made that time so much more fun! Whether they're practicing problem-solving, teamwork, or just learning how to work together, the games have added an exciting new element to our day. It's been awesome to see them so engaged, laughing, and learning at the same time.\r\n\r\nWhen the games first arrived, my students were over the moon! They couldn't wait to dive in, and as soon as we brought them out during WIN time, the classroom was buzzing with excitement. They've been using the games not just to build skills, but to connect with each other in a way that feels natural and fun. I've even noticed quieter students joining in and building friendships, which has been so great to see.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we'll keep using these games to build on what we're learning and to help students connect and grow socially. Whether they're sharpening academic skills or learning how to problem-solve as a team, these games have made a huge difference in our classroom. Thank you for helping us make learning such a fun and meaningful experience!","fullyFundedDate":1727880963993,"projectUrl":"project/learning-is-fun-incorporating-games-for/8749564/","projectTitle":"Learning is Fun: Incorporating Games for Intermediate Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McCauley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9736493"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29867","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":634,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":22,"percentAsian":31,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":29867,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Steeple Run Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Steeple Run Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/naperville-community-unit-school-district-203/steeple-run-elementary-school/29867"}
