One of my groups likes to create items each day, then show them to me to guess who sculpted each creation. They always come up with something creative and it's fun to watch them! We've also put our refreshed markers to good use with the many class charts we create. Every item has been much appreciated and well-loved.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your part in making this project possible.

Our first quarter ends in the middle of October and our first group of Students of the Quarter will be awarded their animals at that time.

There are so many little things that need to be taken care of and it's so much easier to do that now.
