The new games you helped provide have quickly become a favorite activity in all of my English classes.\r\n\r\nOn the first day we played, it was amazing to see how competitive (in the best way!) and engaged they became. Students who often struggled to stay focused during longer lessons were completely absorbed — and did not want to stop at the end of class when the bell rang.\r\n\r\nWhen they first saw the games and puzzle books, several students said things like, \"We get to play these in class?\" \"I love memory games\" \"I play crosswords when I can in study hall!\" and thought it was great that we were going to use games to help with focus. Since then, I've noticed real growth in their ability to sustain attention and persevere through challenges.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting this project. You've made our classroom a place where learning feels joyful, purposeful, and full of focus.","fullyFundedDate":1757545936612,"projectUrl":"project/play-it-smart-extending-focus-one-game/9660847/","projectTitle":"\"Play It Smart: Extending Focus One Game at a Time\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hollatz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8422449"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85151","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":359,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":85151,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Miami East High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Miami East High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/miami-east-local-school-district/miami-east-high-school/85151"}
