I also received a bright LED display clock which helps the students when signing out of my room so we don't need to waste time asking someone else what time it is at that moment.

For Amplify, students have been reading grade level text (which is really difficult for them) and use independent reading skills to better understand it. \r\nThe tasty treats were a great motivator for my struggling readers.
