Students in my classroom love morning meeting time. We would love new books about different feelings to read during this time of the day. These books will help them recognize what they are feeling and give them ways express themselves. Art is another way to help students share their feelings. Paper, notebooks, markers and crayons will be helpful for students to create.
Learning outdoors is fun!
Cushions and clipboards will make working outside easier and more comfortable. It's also fun and helpful to use highlighters when learning.
A reward jar and incentives will encourage students to use kind words, help others, and use teamwork. These positive behaviors will help make learning more accessible and we will have fun while learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
