Our next adventure is to make t-shirts. This is a much bigger endeavor, but my students are so excited. We will start with t-shirts for our class. They want to each make a shirt to represent one of the Secret Stories and share them with the kindergarten through second-grade classes.

The NumWorks calculators have been very helpful to the upper-grade math class.

They are thrilled every time it's science time because they know it's an interactive time to discover something new.

It has had such an incredible impact on my students. We do a short slideshow every day as a warm-up to our reading lesson, and the students are thrilled because they get to use the presentation pointer each time they read the words correctly. They practice writing words and sentences on the LCD boards, which are so much more fun and convenient than whiteboards. They use them for sorting words and love making words with the magnetic animal letters as well.

Brown books because they are fun and engaging, unlike other books in their reading level. They are becomming more self-aware and many of my students have realized that they need help focusing and maintaining attention. They often use the calm strips on their desks to help them focus and relax their bodies. They also love the sharpies and colored pencils as they color in their progress monitoring charts.

Many of my students rely on audio-based learning tools to build literacy and comprehension skills, and having reliable headphones allows them to focus and participate more confidently.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible to watch. Students who once struggled to stay on task are now eagerly logging in to practice their reading fluency, listen to stories, and complete interactive lessons.
