Thanks to you, our classroom now has much-needed storage bins and a wonderful collection of indoor recess games—and the impact has been immediate and joyful.\r\nWhen my second graders first saw the new games, their faces lit up with excitement. One student shouted, \"This is the best day ever!\" The bins helped us organize everything beautifully, making it easy for students to access materials and take responsibility for cleanup. It's been a great way to build independence and teamwork.\r\nWe've already had some memorable moments. During a rainy week, we used the new games for indoor recess, and I watched students collaborate, problem-solve, and laugh together. One group created their own tournament bracket for a matching game, while others built imaginative stories using a storytelling dice set. These resources have turned recess into a time for creativity, connection, and social-emotional growth.\r\nLooking ahead, we're using the bins to organize math centers and science kits, which helps us transition smoothly between activities. The games will continue to support our classroom community, giving students a chance to recharge and build friendships.\r\nYour support has made our classroom more joyful, organized, and engaging.
