What started as a classroom project quickly became something that brought learning into their homes. I've received the sweetest pictures of students sitting around the table with their parents and siblings, fully engaged, laughing, and spending quality time together. Seeing those moments has meant everything.\r\n\r\nThe games are also strengthening important skills in such a natural way. When students play Guess Who?, they're practicing how to describe someone's traits and characteristics, which directly supports their writing. I've noticed them becoming more detailed and confident when describing people in their sentences. With Chutes and Ladders, they're reinforcing counting, number order, and math fluency, all while having fun and not even realizing they're practicing.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these games are building patience, turn-taking, communication, and family connection. This project didn't just add materials to our classroom, it extended learning beyond our walls and created meaningful moments at home. I am so grateful for the impact it has had on my students and their families.","fullyFundedDate":1766075053497,"projectUrl":"project/holiday-board-games-for-family-engagemen/9895272/","projectTitle":"Holiday Board Games for Family Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5685331_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763165604712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5685331"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_149","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":292,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.2,"schoolId":149,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 98 Shorac Kappock on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 98 Shorac Kappock","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-98-shorac-kappock/149"}
