Remaining academically motivated during remote learning from home amidst the pandemic is challenging for even the most diligent students. My students learn best and are able to overcome academic challenges when their hard work is regularly celebrated in our virtual classrooms. In my classroom, to recognize students' hard work, I select five students each week as our Students of the Week. My ninety students and I celebrate these students in class by congratulating them virtually and sending encouraging messages to them and their families. Their favorite part of being selected, though, is getting to pick an independent reading book to keep. Our students are so grateful to have access to texts of their own to continue their independent reading outside of class, enabling them to continue to build their reading and critical thinking skills, take ownership of their learning, and remain motivated amidst this challenging time.
