Thanks to you my students are able to test effectively while using the program Amira. My students can easily talk into the microphone so their fluency can be evaluated. They can all test at the same time and no need to separate and spread them around in the room so their voice does not interfere with others while speaking into the microphone. They are also using the headphones for online testing and AR testing. The headphones have allowed my students the freedom to listen without disrupting other students in their studies.

My students were beyond excited to open up the coloring boxes and use the crayons, markers, and pencil colors. The pencils didn't stand a chance they were used up in no time! The scissors are being used when needed because they are a high need item and they can easily disappear. I gifted the cute bookmarks to each of my students' and they enjoyed decorating them and personalizing them. The magnetic hooks were a lifesaver, I used to hang decorations in the classroom and will be hanging mesh bags with headphones and a mouse for students to use while they are in my classroom.
