Their smiles said it all.\r\n\r\nThe dice games have become a class favorite during math centers. Students cheer each other on as they roll, add, and build fluency through fun, fast-paced practice. The prize box has also supported positive behavior, and students are so proud when they earn a reward through kindness and responsibility. And the snacks you provided have helped students stay focused, especially during those long stretches between meals.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building reading confidence using the HeidiSongs routines and to introduce new math fluency challenges using the dice.

Their energy for reading is at an all-time high! I was able to connect our last essay with the I Survived Series. Students were asked to write an a first-hand account narrative where they experienced an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. We received the new I Survived books during the planning of their essays and I read a few excerpts to spark their interest. Honestly the new books inspired them to write some fantastic stories.
