Wii Need To Put Movement In Our Learning!
Funded Mar 1, 2011I appreciate your generosity so very much. It is with much gratitude that I write this letter. The Wii game system, accessories, Just Dance for Kids, UDraw pad and Pictionary have helped to keep my students active during inside recess. My students have enjoyed physical movement (dancing) rather than sitting on rainy days. The movement has helped the students keep their attention in the afternoon. The Pictionary and UDraw pad have been a great tool in team building. The students have had to work together to play. This has taught them patience and cooperation. They don't realize they are strengthening their skills in these areas while playing these games. To them it is pure fun!
As with most school districts in the United States, our district is experiencing budget shortfalls. There is no way the Wii system and accessories would have been purchased for the use in my classroom. Through your generosity, my students now have them and are experiencing the "Ah ha" moments. They are able to put movement in to the day! For young students, all modalities need to be used, and you have made that possible.
Thank you for making learning fun and keeping my students fit! Thank you for making a difference in children's lives!!!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Walker
