It has provided them a single space to keep track of daily assignments as they move from class to class, knowing at the end of the day what they still need to complete as homework. \r\n\r\nThe addition of our hallway passport has helped students be more aware of the time they may have been spending outside rather than inside the classroom. As a result, many have been using their time more wisely during passing periods so they can maximize their learning time during class.\r\n\r\nIn a few weeks, we will be hosting student-led conferences with parents.

We play an Around the World game every Wednesday; students are really working on their math facts to improve their game potential.\r\n\r\nAnd finally, the circle stickers have made life easier for all of my female students.
