It was so gratifying at parent teacher conferences to hear about how families are using these at home, and WOWZA does that work show up on improved reading fluency for the kiddos who use them! In my small groups, students are constantly asking me \"are we doing writing today?!?\" -- I attribute a good bit of that excitement to the magic erasable markers! (They're magical to use, but they don't last a magic amount of time -- hence the ask for so many in this project!) Finally, I've begun using the corrugated cardboard for some of the charts that will stick around class for a while.

The selected books are not only at a level appropriate to new and struggling readers, but also provide endless opportunities to practice adding voice and prosody to the story. \r\n\r\nStudents have enjoyed having their books open side by side to read stories of Gerald and Piggie, poetry, and \"The Book with No Pictures.\" They have not only practiced reading to each other, but have also read to kindergarten classes who love hearing their favorite characters come to life when read by the \"big kids\" on campus.

This has been crucial for our limited space, allowing students to practice in the cafeteria and other areas. It has also enabled a new \"Musical Ambassadors\" project, where my middle schoolers perform for our younger TK-5th grade classes. Seeing their faces light up during an impromptu hallway recital was magical.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is to build on this momentum by composing original pieces in small groups, designed specifically for these mobile performances.
