After state testing, so many students were thrilled to simply relax at their desk with a good book. Some were even overwhelmed by the choices!\r\n\r\nI even had students asking to take books home because they were hooked. It pained me, but warmed my heart as well, that I sometimes had to deny student0s' request to take a book home because kids from other class periods were invested in the same book.

I think it is because more families are struggling to provide for their child.\r\n The students eyes would get big when I took out a box of snacks, whether it was chips or poptarts. I know my K-pop after school dance club really appreciated it.

I wish everyone could see the excitement on our students' faces when they see the 3D printer creating their projects. Every time the printer begins to create their creations, all the students hover around the printer to watch them come to life in real time. The satisfaction, pride, and inspiration that comes from seeing their projects go from coding on the computer to objects they can hold in their hand truly shows the value of having a 3D printer in class. \r\n\r\nThis year, students have been using the 3D printer to complete their Science Fair Projects. One group of students created their own drone frames and tested how each protype shape affected the ability to fly depending on weight and air resistance. Another student group printed different bodies to create ArtBots, and tested which design created the best art work based on weight distribution. \r\n\r\nThere are so many more options available for students to explore with the 3D printer and we are excited to keep trying new projects!

It is easy for students ignore computation practice when they can search it up on the laptop. The steno books were unusual for the students and felt special.
