One especially memorable moment occurred after a small group was able to walk the class through a particularly challenging fractions question. Talk about empowerment - students teaching students!

It was wonderful to see students celebrating not only their own success but also their classmates' accomplishments.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, prizes, and Plinko game, they were thrilled!

I've watched my students light up as they use the stories to remember tricky sound-spellings, decode new words, and apply these patterns in their writing.
