As each package was opened, students began calling, \"Dibs!\" as they were learning about how the games would be played and what the challenges were. \r\n\r\nGames are a big part of our classroom and this project allows them to practice critical reading skills while having fun and competing against one another. The friendly competition has fostered an eagerness to read more fluently, listen more carefully to the text, and to become word detective as they search for context clues. The excitement of the interactive games has been refreshing and has provided a new approach to teaching reading.\r\n\r\nWithin a few weeks, parents and grandparents will be invited into the clasroom to guide the groups as they play creating a multi-generational opportunity while learning.

Having access to reliable, high-quality printing right in our room allows students to create graphs, data tables, lab reports, and project visuals without delays or interruptions.\r\n\r\nStudents are now printing and revising their work more efficiently. During lab activities, they can graph their temperature data, print clean copies, and immediately use those visuals to support their explanations. The students have already used the printer to make cards representing properties of elements for chemistry and have made visual aids for learning about food webs in biology! (see pictures)\r\n\r\nYour generosity provided a practical tool that supports daily learning. Instead of waiting for shared printers or relying on limited school resources, my students now have what they need at their fingertips.

We greatly appreciate the updated safety equipment too as much of our stuff was worn and well used. \r\n\r\nThis year our focus has been in certification welds. Students have been working on their stick and mig welding abilities through different labs and projects that we have in the shop. I believe this year I will be able to certify every student enrolled in an Ag Mechanics class with at least one American Welding Society certification. \r\n\r\nWe have also been able to take on some community projects this year as well. We have built a bench (as shown in the photos) to be donated to a local scholarship fund for an alumni student here in Encampment. We also have built a grill (also shown in photos) that we donated towards the Wyoming FFA Foundation auction. Every bit of help we can get only gives us more options to take on projects like these and we are incredibly grateful. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you so much for supporting my classroom, our students, and the trades industry.

As they compare different liquids and conditions, they're beginning to notice how factors like volume, surface area, and insulation affect cooling.\r\n\r\nThe best part is seeing how engaged they are — asking questions, making predictions, and connecting what they see in class to everyday experiences like why soup cools differently than tea or how a thermos keeps drinks warm.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping us turn these abstract science ideas into real, hands-on learning.
