Having a bright education is the best way for our students to learn right? Well using black lights and highlighters to show evidence to prove where they got their answers from could help. I also am a firm believer that having a comfortable place to sit back and read a book will make them want to read more. The bins will help them organize the books in levels so they can pick “just right books”. The games also help them practice the skills we have already done as a whole group. Remember a glowing and inspirational classroom will help them remember information that they have learned. They are our future and we want what is best for them. Remember, they love learning just maybe not the way we learned in the past.
