We created a monthly Student of the Month bulletin board where we showcase students' pictures and celebrate their achievements. The mindset goal cards have been especially helpful in highlighting the habits and attitudes students can work toward in order to be chosen.\r\n\r\nMany of our students have difficulty telling time on an analog clock, so the detailed minute labels have been a valuable tool in assisting them as they practice this skill. Students were also excited to have visual fraction models to reference while learning the 7th grade curriculum, particularly when dividing fractions and applying those concepts to unit rates and real-world problems.\r\n\r\nWe are truly appreciative of all of these resources and the positive impact they have on student learning and confidence.
