My students were thrilled when the boxes with the games and activities arrived. It was an early holiday season for them. Every day when a box arrived my class couldn't wait to open it and see what activity was inside. \r\nOnce all the games arrived, my class was eager to start playing them. Students readily formed their groups, inviting each other to join in, and started reading the rules and experimenting with the more unusual games. I could see the joy on my students' faces while they were playing and some of them even remarked how they remembered the games from their earlier childhood. \r\nI plan on continuing to use these games in my station rotations and during earned free time to build social skills and provide a safe environment for kids to be kids.","fullyFundedDate":1760781506156,"projectUrl":"project/engagement-with-energy/9789337/","projectTitle":"Engagement With Energy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gurry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4993613_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1511286853712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4993613"},{"teacherId":9848954,"projectId":9529763,"letterContent":"My new 6th graders love their new middle school classroom!
