Smart Games Tryazon Party

I was fortunate to be selected as a party host for a SmartGames Tryazon Party.  This has to have been one of my favorite Tryazon parties to have hosted.  These games are AWESOME!  After I opened the package my children swarmed.  They were dying to try them out.

My youngest was obsessed (and still is obsessed) with Trucky 3.  Filling the back of dump t rucks with different combinations of blocks.  It is colorful and inviting and great for my four year old.

 Penguins on Ice was what my 7 year old tried first.  He gave it a good shot, and enjoyed trying it, but I'm fairly certain he was unable to complete the challenge.

Quadrillion was probably my favorite.  At first it seemed a bit daunting, trying to figure out how to do the initial set up.  But once I figured it out (I admit, I didn't read the directions on this one) I couldn't get enough.  I love how the game board itself is so versatile that it leads to many different combinations of puzzles to solve.

I have been toting these games back and forth between home and school.  My four year old loves to play them in my classroom before and after school.  He especially loves it when the older kids help him (not that he needs it).  The interaction between my son and my students is precious.  I love how they are working through solving the puzzles in effort to help my son.  I know they are enjoying the challenge.

Try-a-box Strictly Briks

I had the opportunity to try Rubik's Briks from  Strictly Briks  and  Tryazon . What an amazing opportunity. These products were fun and engaging. They have different level of products for different ages and some were quite challenging. The boys and I had a fun time trying them at home. This was a huge hit. I especially enjoyed putting together the more challenging puzzles and mosaics. I brought these to school to see how some of my fast finishing fifth graders would like them. They were a hit there. Even some of the "easier" puzzles engaged my students. They had a fun time putting them  together.

Orb Slime Time thanks to Tryazon

Image
We were chosen by Tryazon to host a Orb Slime Time Party.  These products were so much fun! The kids absolutely loved the Hyper Slimer, and I think we'll be getting another one (or two) in the near future so we can have a proper slime war.   https://hyperslimer.com/   It works like a squirt gun, but with slimey awesomeness.  The clean up is pretty easy too. The biggest hit though was the Elasti Plasti.  https://elastiplasti.com/   This has provided lots of fun and creative play with the kids.  Whether it is a contest to see who can blow the biggest bubble or the sheer joy of the noises it creates when putting it back in the jar, it is a HIT! My favorite was the  Braini Putti . I found it very therapeutic.  I liked how  malleable it was.  I think this would be a great putti to have in the classroom.  It clean up easy, it snaps, bounces, melts, and is overall just cool.  I think my students would enjoy it as a fidget option.

Melrose Rocks Continued

For Teacher Appreciation Week one of my students gave the most amazing gift, a decorated rock. He was a little upset, since it got a little banged up on the way to school, so he told me he'd make me another.  This rock changed me. It was the inspiration I needed to be the change. In our area there is a lot of hiding rocks for people to find.  It's a random act of kindness, spread the joy, heart lifting type of movement.  There are groups for different areas sharing the rocks they have hidden or found.  I knew that one of the schools in our district had a big event creating and hiding rocks in Palatka and I just thought the concept was so stinking cool. So my classes decorated rocks.  Well they decorated rocks based on things they learned in science class this year.  Then they had to describe what the rock was, why they created it, and provide another detail about that topic.  We posted this to our Seesaw accounts.  This allowed students to share within the class as
