Today was the end of the quarter and as a reward for students with no missing work for this unit, we pulled out all the games! \r\n\r\nThey were absolutely thrilled getting to take them for a test ride and are excited for when we integrate the games into our curriculum. The classroom was filled with laughter, good natured competition, and even frustrated outbursts when they got buzzed in Operation! According to several of them, Operation is the most anxiety inducing game ever. 😂\r\n\r\nIt was such fun to reward students for their diligence this quarter and also to provide some anticipation for activities yet to come. They were so excited and had a really great day because of your generosity and I felt privileged and proud to bring it to them.\r\n\r\nOver the course of the rest of the year, we will utilize these games for teaching or reviewing concepts. They will also be available for days like this when a student has earned the privilege.","fullyFundedDate":1755191664711,"projectUrl":"project/games-galore/9269947/","projectTitle":"Games Galore!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7034004_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600231582605","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7034004"},{"teacherId":9005315,"projectId":9517368,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my project.

The variety of treats are appreciated by everyone. \r\n\r\nThe games are also being used daily in my class, they work as excellent team builders and motivation for students that consistently finish early. Our school has a no-phone policy and having engaging games makes that easier for the students. \r\n\r\nThe bulletin boards materials make for great back drops for student work. We have completed projects in computer programming where we build apps and done line and compass art in geometry class. \r\n\r\nThank you again for contributing to the engagement in my classroom!
