We then turn the handprints into a family of snowmen that they decorate. Every year, I have previous students come back to me (even some parents) say that their onrnament is still on their tree.

When the students first saw all the materials laid out, their faces lit up and several of them asked if it was a real store.

The addition of headphones has created a quieter, more focused atmosphere where students can work independently and confidently.\r\n\r\nIn English Language Arts (ELA), the headphones have been especially helpful for reading fluency and comprehension support. Students are now able to listen to audiobooks, access literacy software, like Boost, and use text-to-speech tools that support a variety of learning needs. This has allowed each student to engage with content at their own level and pace, which has improved both focus and skill development during our reading blocks.\r\n\r\nIn Math, the headphones have enhanced our use of digital learning programs that provide individualized instruction. Students can listen to step-by-step explanations, follow along with visual models, and receive instant audio feedback from Aleks Adventure and Xtra Math. This has helped build their confidence in solving problems independently and has made math time more interactive and effective.

Even with an electronic board, having to stand at the front of the room to teach still felt very limiting when students had questions. With that iPad, it means that I could check on students with their questions instead of them having to wait until I was finished at the front of the class.
