My students really enjoy getting new titles to read. In particular the titles focused on hunting, fishing, and video games have been popular with some of my reluctant readers. Having relatable and popular topics really makes a difference in fostering a love of reading in students. My students have also really enjoyed the titles that focus on history, Finally, the \"Weird But True\" series and graphic novels are always favorites.

My students are loving the new materials in our classroom makerspace! The makerspace continues to be a favorite option during free choice. We have also used the materials for other STEM activities and challenges.\r\n\r\nFor example, in the winter we learned about snow and how snowflakes form. Students used the pipe cleaners to design their own crystal ornament. Also in the fall students used our Makerspace materials to build catapults to launch candy pumpkins! Students love to design beaded bracelets with positive words and phrases as well. My favorite way that students use the supplies is when students use their creativity to make whatever is in their imagination.

So far this school year several students have visited the calm down zone to help them regulate themselves when they are feeling mad, sad, or silly. I love that there are so many choices and every student can find a tool that meets their needs from things to squish, spin, look at, build, and use to take deep breaths.\r\n\r\nNot only do my students enjoy visiting the calm down zone to help them regulate their emotions and bodies, but they have also enjoyed using the materials during free choice time.

I have noticed that students with flexible seating are more engaged and alert than those sitting in traditional chairs.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the stacking stools have given us the option to have more seating available especially at the small group table.

Each student device gets a slot in the cart and the cords are able to be sent through little holders so they don't get tangled up.

My kids have quickly adapted to the change in the routine and have been working to get, and put away, their chromebooks quickly. They also really love the cart and I can't wait for them to be leaders in helping to make sure the cart is taken care of.\r\n\r\nWe are beyond thankful for your generosity and continued support of our classroom.

As the packages started arriving at school, the students grew more and more excited, and couldn't wait to see what was inside. \r\n\r\nThe first items that the students were able to start using were the wobble stools. The wobble stools have been a great addition to our classroom and have helped my students when they need a place to sit that allows them to move a little and get their \"wiggles\" out. The students take turns using the stools around the room and everyone wants the chance to use them. In addition to the wobble stools, the students love the two comfy floor seats that we got. They are a number one choice for independent reading, and the students love when it is their turn to kick back and relax while they read. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the flexible seating, the students have been getting creative with the marble run and building blocks set. Whenever they have free time or inside recess, they get those two items out first and start creating.
