Sanrio release pricing
For anyone who recently purchased or saw the newest Sanrio collection, how much are they? Aside from Pom where I saw he’s $42, are the others $38 like they usually are? A little more?

My first idog!
A few weeks late, but here’s my first idog! Light pink with a bit of yellowing on one leg and the bottom on one of the hind legs, missing a tail, light scratching and a bit of yellowing in the ears, but works! Also came with a set of clothes (not my favorite honestly, but the colors work), and a bag that has very minimal damage.
I’ve only had the idog plush in pink and I’m hoping to look for another!

Why is Pochacco popular?
Honestly, I don’t get it. I like Pochacco, but why is the Build A Bear so popular, over some of the other Sanrio characters? You would think he would be one they have in stock year round, but I only see the others- Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, even Chococat is still available (at least the hot chocolate version online) and he was a big seller too. Is it his texture? Fur? His character? It was tricky finding his regular version after I got the chocolate chip and with the new summer ice cream version coming, I bet that will be gone too.

Toot Toot!
I love my toucan!! My favorite bird alongside puffins! Best purchase! Reminds me of Pengu if anyone knows who that is. I can’t decide on her name- Toot Toot, Tootsie, or Froot (like Froot Loops). If anyone has a preference, please let me know! And for anyone who’s considering this one, the blue fur is the same as the bat from last Fall. So if you like the bat’s texture, you might enjoy the toucan.
Edit: I’ve decided to name her Tootsie!

Whee! Look at my Pochaccos! I never planned to get the original Pochacco after getting Chip, but I found him for just under his retail price. BNWT and chonky?! Now if only I could make my Chip like that… anyway, he is now my fave Sanrio character 💙

I’m an interventionist para having worked at my school for 3 years. I graduated college in 2023 with a bachelor’s specializing in elementary education, and I also received my teaching license in 2025. The district I work for as well as other districts nearby are cutting funds which results in cutting my position.
I find this to be a pro and con. I can easily find a teaching position somewhere, however there is a lot of competition or mainly para/SPED/interventionist positions available from what I’ve seen. I know that more may open up over the next few weeks and through summer.
I’ve had trouble figuring out what to do next. I’ve applied to a few positions already including a kinder teacher, kinder para, other elementary teacher positions, and a preschool teacher position at a separate preschool.
The preschool teacher position is practically guaranteed if I say yes, but is not part of any school district. It’s through a church. This is fine as I’m a believer so the values are similar to my own.
I’ve also considered subbing full-time or becoming a super sub despite not getting benefits (I might if I he unemployment). I’ve read that this is better for getting employed if the subbing is continuous through certain schools.
What would be better in order to become a teacher within the next year- be a para again in a different department, sub, or be a preschool teacher?
