Their eyes lit up, and you could hear their happy chatter as they picked their treats. It was such a joyful moment in the classroom.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to continue using small snack rewards to celebrate student achievements in reading and math.

They couldn't wait to come up and write on it, share their answers, and collaborate with their classmates. Their enthusiasm made the classroom feel even more lively and energetic.\r\n\r\nNext, we will use the whiteboard to explore creative writing and story mapping. Students will plan their stories on the board, share ideas with peers, and then use their plans to write their own stories.
