They immediately wanted to explore, play, and figure out how everything worked. We are using the games as a fun way to practice important skills such as problem-solving, communication, taking turns, following directions, and working together. What might look like \"just playing\" to my students is actually giving them meaningful opportunities to learn, build confidence, and practice skills in a way that feels exciting and engaging.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these resources, my students will have opportunities to work together during small-group activities, try new challenges, and apply the skills they are learning in different ways. I'm especially looking forward to seeing them become more independent as they solve problems, make decisions, and support one another during play. These games have added so much excitement to our learning, and I am grateful that my students now have more hands-on ways to learn, explore, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1776894994004,"projectUrl":"project/board-games-that-inspire-learning-and-co/9972184/","projectTitle":"Board Games That Inspire Learning and Connection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alvarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9074956_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730304129996","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lalvarez"},{"teacherId":2147982,"projectId":10226319,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project and bringing AI glasses to our kindergarten classroom!
