For many students, school is the only opportunity to interact with building toys and games like that. Now, my students will have fun and learn from each other during indoor recess.\r\n\r\nOur school does not have an indoor play area so students have indoor recess for many days in the school year. Although all my students are in Grade 3, most of them started school two years below grade level. Therefore, having the opportunity to develop engineering and mathematical skills during their free time is a huge advantage for them.\r\n\r\nStudents who work below grade level need different resources which scaffold learning. While they are playing games in groups they have the opportunity to interact with each other, solve problems, and come to a solution together.\r\n\r\nCurrently, 100% of my students are language learners. These students benefit immensely from conversations with their peers. The STEM games help them to communicate with each other and make connections that will transfer to meaningful learning. The joy of watching children learning while playing is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!\r\n\r\nOnce again, I thank you for your generosity and for helping us to close the achievement gap!","fullyFundedDate":1780421965033,"projectUrl":"project/stem-games-and-toys-for-indoor-recess/10231124/","projectTitle":"STEM Games and Toys for Indoor Recess","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hahn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2910737_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727821453205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hahn"},{"teacherId":2910737,"projectId":10234866,"letterContent":"I can't tell you how much we appreciate your support for my 3rd grade students.

This boost in morale has translated into an immediate surge in engagement, as students are eager to dive into lessons and interact with the brand-new tools you provided.\r\nThese funded items have completely transformed our daily instructional routine by making abstract concepts tangible and accessible. Instead of just reading about ideas in a textbook or watching a demonstration from afar, students are now actively participating in hands-on, collaborative learning. I have already watched students who previously struggled to stay focused become completely absorbed in their tasks, collaborating with peers and developing critical problem-solving skills that will serve them for years to come.\r\nYour contribution has closed a critical resource gap and leveled the playing field for our classroom.
