The biggest hit so far has been Bingo. At least once a week, one of my scholars asks if we can play. I have been using the fidget toys, as well as goodies from the dollar store, as game prizes or behavioral incentives, and the scholars love it.\r\n\r\nMy scholars were both curious and excited when they first saw the new materials. Some of them immediately realized that they were games, and expressed their joy and excitement. Many scholars tried to guess what they were and how I planned to use them. There were even some who thought I was going to be giving the materials away as prizes for good behavior. Even now, despite the fact that they are learning games, my scholars are all still very excited about the materials that I have received for this project.\r\n\r\nMy scholars have just completed their Quarter 2 Winter Numeracy Assessments. The majority of them did extraordinarily well, but there were a couple (specifically, my scholars who are chronically absent) whose scores were dangerously low. In order to prevent them from becoming considered for retention, I plan to give some special attention to these scholars by tailoring my small-groups with them to better address their needs. I believe that the Number Bingo, Sums in Space, and the Addition or Subtraction boards from the Math Board Games set would all be helpful in this. I don't, however, want any of my other scholars feeling left out, so I will also play some math games with them during small-groups to help keep them sharp.\r\n\r\nMy class and I are all so thankful that you have funded this project to make school and learning more enjoyable. It truly makes learning (and teaching) more fun, and we appreciate that you gave us this opportunity.

It has also allowed them to understand things more reading through the books such as Patience. Students are understanding their emotions more and what they mean. The first couple of days they were super excited about it and everyone was wanting to have a spot plush on their desk to show how they were feeling. Now they just use them when they are having big emotions that they don't know how to describe yet.\r\nIn our classroom we have a library where they have access to these books at all times so they don't always have to wait for the teachers to read it they can read it when they are also wanting to learn about it themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1747137065460,"projectUrl":"project/all-about-our-feelings/9336614/","projectTitle":"All About Our Feelings!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Yohn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10028738"},{"teacherId":10029869,"projectId":9338190,"letterContent":"Thank you for the gifts of the dividers, books, fidget bands, and printer. It has made a big impact in my class. Students are able to test in private without being distracted. Printing has been a breeze and I am able to bring pages to life with the color. This grabs the attention of the students and they score better on their quiz. The multi cultural books came in the right time as I have an ELL student who really enjoyed the stories that brought his cultural to the class.
