Math - It's All Fun and Games!
Funded Dec 1, 2009I would like to personally thank each of your for your generosity. It is because of wonderful, loving people like you that children are afforded the basics of a good, solid education.
The games have made a tremendous impact on our classroom. Having math as the last subject of the day had been a "hard sell" to keep the students' interest and enthusiasm. Now, with the games and activities, the students are eager to finish the lesson and their required tasks so that they can quickly get back to the learning station tables to play. They share, play fair, abide by the rules, and learn all at the same time! It is truly an amazing sight.
I even have a group of young ladies who now ask to stay after school to play the games more. The same young ladies that would drift off, act out, or make careless errors our of disinterest are thriving and enthusiastic about math. They are even helping other students so that the lesson goes a little faster and they can play their game before time is up.
It is amazing to see just how much a few board games can change a child's life....and a teacher's life! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
With gratitude,
