With this project we have been able to pair the third grade students up with students in first grade. This pairing has enabled the students to work with one another and build reading confidence. Students have also been able to discuss their feelings while they read through journaling. Expressing emotions can be a challenging concept for children, but giving them the tools and space to explore them is very beneficial for emotional regulation. By identifying emotions through books and writing we are setting the students up for success.

The new setup allows students to independently choose books that match their interests, which has dramatically boosted their enthusiasm for reading. Even my most reluctant readers are now excited to curl up in the corner with a book.\r\n\r\nNow that the students are deeply engaged with the new space, we are ready for the next step.

We not only were we able to provide the snacks on a cart for the students, but we were able to host an egg hunt for the students to win snack prizes to take home for spring break.
