My students had the opportunity to use their imaginations to create their own \"alebrijes\" with the playdoh that was donated, and some are included in the attached pictures. They also have enjoyed making art with the \"Art Pixel Challenge\" kit that was donated, and they love expressing their artistic skills with the Dot Paint that you have generously donated (both shown in the included pictures).

In my classroom, after I teach them a brief lesson on the topic the students get to work with hands-on activities so they learn by experience, trial and error, and experimentation. \r\n\r\nIn this month of November, we began our lessons on Technology. With your generous contributions, my students have been assembling robots and other technologies. They love these activities and the new kits you have donated, and as you can see from the pictures, they have put together some cool robots and have enjoyed learning how they work and are put together, and they are proud of their achievements when they learn from their mistakes then accomplish their goals all while having fun!
