It quickly became the favorite spot in the room, and students love settling in there during independent reading time or class read aloud. The timer has also become part of our daily routine—we use it for fluency practice, quick partner tasks, and other timed activities. It's a small addition that has helped keep our work focused and consistent.\r\n\r\nThe class set of Mona Lisa books has already sparked a lot of curiosity. Students are looking forward to using them during our upcoming unit and have been asking questions about the time period and what they'll get to learn. In the meantime, they often relax in the new reading space with books they've checked out from our school library. The cozy setup has helped students stay engaged and comfortable during reading time.\r\n\r\nAs we move closer to our Renaissance unit, the excitement continues to grow. Having a full class set of books will allow every student to participate fully and dive into the content together.
