It was such a joyful reminder that learning can happen away from screens, through conversation, imagination, and play.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've been using the games during our Friday enrichment block and our reading time. Students who are usually quiet have started to open up and collaborate with their classmates, and those who love technology are realizing how fun it is to think, talk, and laugh together. The books have also become fast favorites, they're sparking new interests and lively discussions that carry over into our writing lessons.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped us create a space where curiosity, teamwork, and creativity thrive. You didn't just fund materials, you gave my students a reason to look forward to learning together every day.
