Last school year I realized there were so many broken and outdated toys and games. It was no surprise why my students were not playing with any of the items in the box. I allowed students to play on their computers as a fun Friday choice, but I really disliked the way they all just put on their headphones and zoned out. I missed having students play a \"good ol' fashioned\" game. My students were losing the opportunity to communicate through friendly play. This is where I had the idea to refresh the box and get rid of things and add some new games and activities. Board games and new books quickly added up. I originally thought to seek out board games at thrift stores and yard sales. But I came up short and underwhelmed. \r\n Creating this project on Donor's Choose was the best thing I did. I was able to purchase brand new items (that were guaranteed to have all their pieces). And I was able to choose items that my students would actually want to engage with. I choose some classics, like Connect 4, and Guess Who. It was been so fulfilling to watch the kids play and enjoy each other's company. The most surprising item I purchased was Play Doh. I wasn't sure if 4th graders were still interested in playing with Play Doh, but they definitely still do. It's the most popular station.\r\n Thank you to all my donors, my students and I are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1756308288818,"projectUrl":"project/fun-friday-box-refresh/9616594/","projectTitle":"Fun Friday box Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miotti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4143150_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485387315687","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4143150"},{"teacherId":8845238,"projectId":9288074,"letterContent":"The couch and classroom supplies gave such a great fresh start to my seventh and eighth graders this year.

You allowed me to stretch my budget and get some extra things instead of just stocking the basics.\r\n\r\nMy students use the couch during our stop and read Fridays. During this time they sit and silent read for 30 minutes. It is the biggest privilege to get to sit on the couch with your friends as you read.

By providing a class set of a textbooks, every student receives access to grade level text. When an emerging reader picks up a book, it is rarely a chapter book. As adults, we know the value of reading a chapter book. We get involved in the story and the characters. I see a lot less students gravitating to the chapter books, and opting for quick read picture books. I think some students are intimidated by the amount of pages, others don't feel confident enough. And some kids just haven't exercised that skill of reading the same story for a couple days. \r\nBut with this book, I am able to provide the modeling and excitement that comes with reading chapter books. We get excited to continue the story, we discuss characters, we predict how the story will go. There are so many projects I can do with this book and I believe this unit of study will grow year after year. \r\nThe students are also able to connect this fictional story with the history they are learning in 4th grade about the Gold Rush. It is really exciting to see these connections being made.
