New Year New Environment

Funded Sep 26, 2024

I'm thrilled to share the incredible impact your support has had on our classroom this year!

Using the New Resources: With the new games you funded for Fun Day Friday, my students have been engaging in both teamwork and critical thinking in a fun and interactive way. One standout moment was during our recent "Math Games Tournament." Students paired up to tackle math challenges using the new board games, and the excitement was palpable as they strategized and cheered each other on. It was amazing to see them applying their math skills in a playful environment!

Student Reactions: When the students first saw the games, their eyes widened with excitement! Many of them eagerly rushed to unpack the boxes, and they couldn't wait to dive in. One student even exclaimed, "This is the best Fun Day ever!" Their enthusiasm and laughter filled the room, creating an atmosphere of joy and collaboration that was truly inspiring.

Next Steps: As we continue with our Fun Day Fridays, we plan to rotate different games that focus on various subjects—like science and literacy—so that students can make connections across disciplines while having fun. We're also organizing a student-led "Game Design Day" where they will create their own games based on what they've learned this semester. This project will not only reinforce their understanding but also encourage creativity and innovation.

Thank you for making all of this possible! Your contributions have brought new energy into our classroom, and I can't wait to share more of our adventures with you!

Warmly,”

With gratitude,

Mr. Samuels
