It was less money than the original saw, so I was able to also get a book on making slime and a Cubelets robot block. This new saw is very similar to the original one we requested. The dust drawer even has a light. The package of cardboard sheets will be gone soon, but I have been collecting thin boxes at home and around the school for a long time. I know there will be plenty of boxes to save from the trash can when school starts back in August.\r\n\r\nThis is such a great product for all of our students to use safely and creatively.

I had only requested one package, so I used them with my enrichment group. Next year, I will try to get more of those cards to use with other grades.

I was also able to receive a little flying orb with colorful lights of its own. This is going to take a little time for students to learn to navigate it correctly, but it is a lot of fun while we learn. The box of gold crayons will be used while we celebrate Lunar New Year this week and the small bag of JOLLY RANCHER Sour Gummies was a favorite for a treat.\r\n\r\nThis project has come at the perfect time to keep students excited as they explore and create in STEM class.
