When they first saw the games, their faces absolutely lit up — squeals of excitement, hugs around the boxes, and proud smiles as they realized, \"This is mine!\" For many of my students, this was their very first board game, and the joy and sense of ownership they felt made the moment unforgettable.\r\nWe talked together about how board games help us practice important skills like taking turns, counting, problem-solving, and being a good sport — all while having fun with family. Students were eager to share who they planned to play with at home, from siblings and parents to grandparents. Knowing they had something special to bring home made them feel seen, valued, and celebrated during the holiday season.\r\nThe next step for my students is continuing to build these social and academic skills beyond the classroom walls. These games are now tools for family connection, learning through play, and creating meaningful memories at home. Thank you for giving my students more than just a game — you gave them joy, confidence, and a gift that will keep making an impact long after winter break.","fullyFundedDate":1761933366255,"projectUrl":"project/the-gift-of-play-for-bright-kindergarten/9836128/","projectTitle":"The Gift of Play for Bright Kindergarten Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rentschler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7256636"},{"teacherId":1743583,"projectId":8889753,"letterContent":"We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation of magnetic letters, whiteboards, dice, folders, and washcloths that were repurposed into erasers.

They've been eagerly using them to spell words, and participate in lively discussions.
