We are so excited to try sublimation, however, we are still waiting on a sublimation printer.

Hopefully by the beginning of next school year, we will have a sublimation printer and be able to do this project to the full level that we would like to do.

Try it items you brought to our classroom. Our students continue to enjoy learning about the different treats, the ingredients they use, and the countries they come from. It has been such a nice and different addition to our Try It Friday's. I am especially proud of how our students are willing to try new things, and are open to different cultures. We've even noticed that their vocabulary and approach to new things other than food have been affected by this tradition of ours every week. They are becoming more open to different cultures and interested in learning about others and their backgrounds. More than that, they realize that trying new things isn't scary, and although we don't always like what we try, we are better people for having experienced it.

For example, one shelf will be housing all the terrific scholastic magazines that students can choose from this year.

In addition, we are able to share some of the magazines with other classes since there are extra, so we will make sure to use the donations to help as many students as possible! \r\nEvery donation of materials makes our jobs easier and students happier. These scholastic articles are no exception, you have provided our class a wonderful resource to help them with life skills that go beyond school. I am beyond excited to see all the great things we can do with these articles this year. One of the best things is that students like having a break from the computer sometimes, so having magazines that are well written and have great graphics is a nice break for kids.

My students have been enjoying the surprises as I have brought out each part of the resources. When I see an opportunity to praise a student who has been struggling, I try to follow it up with a small surprise for them and the class. Some of the fidget toys have been given as those surprises, and used well by all! \r\nWe have had a chance to play some of the games, and these opportunities have allowed the class to relax, interact with their peers and us in collaborative ways, and learn new skills. As students came back this school year, they have already asked me when we can have another game day! \r\nTwo specific students have not been to school in a couple of years. They were very anxious about returning to school and overwhelmed. One day after some of the games had come in, I pulled them next door and had them learn a game with me. They then taught the game to the class. This empowered them and gave them confidence that they are just as intelligent as their peers and have something to contribute to our class. I look forward to many more opportunities to use all these resources to help my students grow. \r\nA few of the fidgets were meant for younger students, so I donated these to a teacher who works with students with autism. She too was grateful, since she usually purchases this on her own. None of the resources will go to waste! \r\nThank you again for your thoughtful gift. It means so much to know that others in the community care about our classes and can help share the expenses.","fullyFundedDate":1746552907494,"projectUrl":"project/giggling-games-galore-teaching-throug/9261174/","projectTitle":"Giggling Games Galore...
