My students and I have been hard at work, building our robots and putting them together. Students loved being able to use the little screwdrivers themselves and they each were able to participate, not having to wait. We needed the batteries in order to make our robots move and go. Thank you so much for making this possible. \r\nWe also wrapped up our ancient China unit and got to make Chinese dumplings in class, use chopsticks and each student got their own red envelope to take home. Inside the red envelope was a lucky, gold coin and two pieces of Chinese candy to try. It was truly the icing on the cake.

The weighted lap dogs are so incredible! The kids ask to use them daily. They were so excited when the dogs arrived. They immediately all needed to have a turn holding one. We quickly had to come up with some agreed upon class rules for our new furry friends. The sensory tiles are cool for sure. I need to find more ways to incorporate them into our classroom though.\r\nMy students like to use the lap dogs when they are working at their desks, at table groups and especially on the carpet. Of course sometimes they are a distraction, but I just remind them about our rules for the dogs and everything moves forward.
