Fishing for sight words has made reading and learning our sight words fun and exciting!

Students moved through small-group academic activities throughout the school day. The calming area allows them to explore the materials hands-on—everything from experimenting with the new sensory fidgets to using our new canoe, rocker or peanut. One of my favorite moments came when a group of students used their new library furniture together. They were so excited to read together and be in such a cozy learning environment.\r\n\r\nTheir reactions when they first saw the materials were priceless. Several students gasped, a few cheered out loud, and more than one asked, \"Are these really for us?\" That excitement carried into the rest of the day—students who are usually hesitant were suddenly volunteering, participating, and taking academic risks because the new tools made the learning feel accessible and fun.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make these moments possible.
