It's the little things that matter! 😌 During the reading of the novel, LaRose, they fell in love with the new highlighters, colored pencils, and construction paper. Having the option for colors other than plain white really amped up their creativity skills. Even the magnetic, dry erase notebook paper on my board has been popular and useful to showcase a perfect example of a proper Header and Heading for MLA format. \r\n\r\nThese tools and supplies allowed me to stress less and students to blossom 🌸 in their learning. Many of these items have been used every single day, multiple times a day. Thank you!!!\r\n\r\nStudents really dug into these supplies!!! Their creativity went wild when they saw we had the option for multiple colored highlighters and book flags for annotating this year! Many don't always understand it, but it is critical to have that excitement of color when motivating stidents to read and analyze written text. These small gestures really solidify and invigorate learning, and promote curiosity and creativity.
