The resources in this project have been a huge hit with my students! It's been a joy to see where their creativity takes them with these fun projects. A particular favorite has been the iron and the fuse beads. Many of my students created fuse bead art creations that they took home to give to a special someone over Valentine's Day weekend. \r\n\r\nThe arcade circuit board has already become a class favorite. It's been a great activity to work on in cooperative groups, and involves so many skills such as reading directions, using fine motor skills, and working with others. \r\n\r\nThank you for making this project possible for my students.

The calming ball has been a fun way for our class to select a calming activity for when we need to relax and refocus. \r\n\r\nThe jellyfish tank was an instant class favorite. It was incredibly easy to set up, and we could enjoy it right away. All of my students have enjoyed spending time watching the plastic jellyfish move around in an incredibly lifelike manner.

When it was first installed, their excitement was contagious—many eagerly took turns writing their names, numbers, letters and drawing stories to share with their classmates. \r\n\r\nCurrently, we're using the whiteboard to support our literacy unit, practicing high frequency words and story details. We continue it for our math lessons on representing numbers to 5 as well as a place to write our \"I can\" statements to share what we have learned.
