My Project

Shine Your Light! will be the title of our new bulletin board for next year. Students will have a new bulletin board to display their accomplishments in their software and on independent reading books. As they level up, they will earn a sticker on their multi-colored light bulbs. Students love to earn stickers this year, but this will be a refreshed version of our current system.

This bulletin board is at the front of my room for all of our students and visitors to see.

My reading resource class is required to complete 20 minutes of software daily. Students move through levels of software on their level. I need my students to feel motivated daily to persevere through the activities. Each time they complete a component they get a sticker for everyone to see and a prize from the prize box. Students like to see who has the most stickers. I like the idea of showing the students as light bulbs because they are so bright.

I have also included a wiggle cushion in my order for a student to use in my classroom. I have needed this to help with movement during instruction throughout the years.
