Funded Aug 19, 2024Since receiving the snacks and games from my DonorsChoose project, my middle schoolers have been using these resources to enhance their social skills and build community. For instance, during a recent team-building project, we organized a game day where students collaborated in small groups to play board games, fostering teamwork and communication. When the materials first arrived, the excitement was palpable; students cheered and immediately dove into the snacks, eager to explore the games. This moment not only boosted their morale but also set the stage for deeper engagement in our activities. Moving forward, we plan to integrate these games into our lessons on conflict resolution, using them as tools to practice negotiation and cooperation in real-time scenarios. This hands-on approach will help them apply these essential skills in their daily interactions.”
