By engaging in hands on activities, students will practice important skills such as patience, empathy, and respect while learning to celebrate each other's successes. These games foster meaningful social interaction by encouraging conversation, laughter, and cooperation among peers. Instead of beginning the day with screens or electronics, students will have the opportunity to connect face to face, building stronger relationships and creating a positive sense of belonging within the classroom. Morning choice becomes more than just a time to play, it becomes a foundation for strengthening emotional well being, promoting inclusion, and giving every student a chance to feel seen and valued.\r\n\r\nBeyond social emotional growth, the donated games also encourage collaboration and teamwork, skills that are essential both inside and outside of the classroom. Students will learn how to work together, compromise, and share responsibility while having fun in a low pressure environment. This positive start to the morning helps reduce stress and creates a welcoming atmosphere where students feel excited and ready to learn. Beginning the day with joyful interaction sets the tone for academic success, as students transition into their lessons focused, confident, and energized. These games truly help students start the day off right, setting them up for a successful and fulfilling day of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1756150754555,"projectUrl":"project/for-the-love-of-weekday-mornings/9528384/","projectTitle":"For the Love of Weekday Mornings!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gubinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3504424_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708350671496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3504424"},{"teacherId":979198,"projectId":9055319,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of kindness journals for my class to accompany our reading of the novel, Wonder. Your support has truly inspired my students to embrace the themes of kindness and empathy found in the book. When the materials arrived, their faces lit up with excitement! They couldn't wait to start writing in their journals and share their thoughts on how to be better humans.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are using the kindness journals for a classroom project where students reflect on their daily acts of kindness and how they can spread positivity within our school community. This has led to some heartfelt discussions and a greater sense of camaraderie among classmates. As we continue our journey through Wonder, the students will be using their journals to create a kindness campaign, where they will brainstorm and implement ways to promote kindness throughout the school.

As soon as the materials arrived, our students were buzzing with excitement. Seeing the variety of fabric patches, blank trucker hats, and design tools sparked immediate creativity, and they couldn't wait to dive into the project. One student even exclaimed, \"This is the coolest thing we've ever done in class!\" Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear from the start that this hands-on opportunity would be a memorable experience.\r\n\r\nOne standout moment was when students began collaborating on their designs, sharing ideas, and helping each other bring their visions to life. One student, who is usually shy, lit up when she found a patch that perfectly represented her love for nature. She eagerly shared her ideas with her classmates, and by the end of the session, she had created a hat that told her story in a way she never had before. Moments like these highlight the power of creative expression and hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our students are excited to take their designs a step further by presenting their creations and explaining the stories behind their patches. This next phase will not only build their confidence in public speaking but also strengthen their ability to articulate their ideas and inspirations. Additionally, we plan to display their finished hats in a special showcase, allowing the entire school community to celebrate their creativity and hard work. Thanks to these new resources, our students are not only learning new skills but also discovering new ways to express themselves and connect with others.","fullyFundedDate":1733266120487,"projectUrl":"project/trucker-tales-stitching-stories-through/8813157/","projectTitle":"Trucker Tales: Stitching Stories Through Custom Hats","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thrift","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp41598_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1453382527706","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jenniferthrift"},{"teacherId":979198,"projectId":8988532,"letterContent":"We kicked off our drone adventure by introducing students to block programming, starting with simple flight patterns.
