The kids really have enjoyed learning new games and have even created video directions to help teach future groups. Thank you for your generosity and providing these items for our class.

The Ninja Slushie machine was an absolute hit for our cooking labs at the end of the school year. Students loved mixing different types of juices to create a unique slushie flavor for their group. We also really enjoyed learning about how to create \"healthier\" slushies compared to what is sold in a normal grocery store.

My students absolutely love playing games and doing brain breaks when we are done with our cooking labs and during our brain break activity time. I love watching students be able to play a game with each other and not use technology. The ability to just sit and have a conversation without technology is becoming a thing of the past and I want to make sure it doesn't ever go away. The wide variety of activities is perfect for our family science classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1742901152252,"projectUrl":"project/games-to-end-the-year/9139581/","projectTitle":"Games to End The Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hopkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp397467_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474390567792","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misshopkins"},{"teacherId":397467,"projectId":9274863,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Family Science classroom. The dish clothes and towels have been a life saver as we now have more cooking groups and we can't always do the laundry during the middle of the day to have them dry by the next cooking lab. The games have also been a hit during brain break as this allows them to have more of a selection and play them all around the room. Connect 4 is always one of the first games taken from our game shelf.

The addition of a second AppleTV has allowed us to project to our second classroom a whole different set of directions. The students really enjoy learning about financial literacy with the fake blank checks and interesting worksheets. Lastly the Guess in 10 games helps give us more of a variety of activities to do during our Brain Break time.

We were able to complete many fun projects in our Family Science classroom. I personally love the table numbers that I can move around the classroom very quickly and students know exactly where to sit. The hot glue gun finally allows us to create things that stay together and not fall apart due to the lack of heat.
