Boogie on Down to First!!
Funded Jan 29, 2019Thank you so much for your generous support of my project, "Boogie on Down to First." The students were thrilled when the boogie boards arrived and couldn't wait to explore them. We began using them right away!
The students absolutely love using the boogie boards. They've been a fantastic tool for practicing sight words, spelling, and letter formation. The boards are also a hit during our quiet time, giving students extra practice with proper pencil use. We had to set aside specific days for boogie board activities during choice time because everyone was so eager to use them.
We are excited to continue enjoying this wonderful gift throughout the year. Your generosity means so much to us. Thank you again for your support!”

Games have proven to be an invaluable addition to our classroom, making learning both enjoyable and effective. They capture students' interest and enthusiasm, which boosts their motivation and focus. Through games, students naturally develop crucial social skills like cooperation and communication as they work together and take turns. These activities also encourage problem-solving and critical thinking by presenting fun challenges that require creative solutions. Language development is enhanced through games that involve storytelling or word play, helping students expand their vocabulary and improve their communication skills. Physical games help improve motor skills, coordination, and dexterity. Additionally, games provide opportunities for students to learn how to manage their emotions, handle both success and setbacks gracefully, and build resilience. Overall, games create a vibrant and interactive learning environment that supports both academic progress and personal growth.”
