This project is one that focused on classroom collaboration through game play. The excitement that I see on my student's faces when they see games is one that I love. Of course, being in high school, there is not much downtime, but I believe that one impactful reason a classroom is successful is through the connection that students make with one another. \r\n\r\nThrough the games provided, students will be able to dive deep into each other's diverse thinking. They will be able to build some empathy as well as they answer the question cards. The debatable game will allow my students to argue their stance on silly topics, which is something my students absolutely have the most fun with. I have never met a teenager who doesn't love to argue. Overall, I am excited to implement some game days into our planning and I know it will be beneficial to our classroom once we are able to.","fullyFundedDate":1769447073012,"projectUrl":"project/out-with-the-technology-in-with-the-boa/9982762/","projectTitle":"Out with the Technology, In with the Board Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9504774_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752711788687","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9504774"},{"teacherId":9504774,"projectId":9966370,"letterContent":"I have said it time and again, but your generosity has been incredibly valuable to me as an educator.
