My students absolutely love playing Mancala. They learned about the Mancala game in one of our math units. Many of them had never heard of or ever played Mancala. So, when they found out that we had them in our classroom, their eyes lit up and they were so excited to learn how to play. Not only are they having fun but, they are practicing counting, strategic thinking skills, and learning how to be a good partner. \r\nI love being able to offer Mancala as a Math center game in my class. My students get to interact with a game that they learned in Math and get to enjoy playing with their friends, all the while building stronger math skills.","fullyFundedDate":1753558562509,"projectUrl":"project/counting-with-mancala/9319577/","projectTitle":"Counting with Mancala","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4380_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507767316847","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/w-martinez"},{"teacherId":3659316,"projectId":9393324,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom.

Students are eagerly role-playing with one another, practicing conversation, expression, and storytelling in ways that feel natural and fun.\r\n\r\nAlong with the puppets, the community helper vests have become a huge favorite. The children love pretending to be firefighters, doctors, chefs, and more—exploring real-world roles while learning through play. These materials have encouraged collaboration, boosted confidence, and made our dramatic play center more meaningful and engaging.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving our students the opportunity to learn, imagine, and grow through play.

My students and I are very thankful for your generous donation of snacks for state testing days. The plethora of snacks was enough for both of my classes for both the ELA and Math testing days!\r\n\r\nIt seems like such a small thing, handing out fruit, applesauce, animal crackers, etc. each morning, but it made a huge impact. Some students looked forward to the testing days just because they know there would be fruit snacks, peaches, or a granola bar waiting for them in the room. It was a treat and they were very appreciative. \r\n\r\nMost importantly and simply, it fed them. It was a small snack, but enough for them to focus and give each day of testing everything they had. It even had an impact in our day to day classroom life. Most students skip the breakfast line each morning, or take it and throw it in the trash. When they realized they actually like applesauce - many students started grabbing breakfast more often and we even started a collection of uneaten / unwanted items in the classroom. Often times, the item doesn't even stay in the bin for more than a day before someone needs a little pick me up.","fullyFundedDate":1742823920549,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-state-testing-days/9188718/","projectTitle":"Snacks for State Testing Days","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. H.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp107143_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450227697114","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-herzbrun"},{"teacherId":4380,"projectId":8980165,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom.
