Reading Rockstar

Help me give my students the opportunity to receive medals when they have shown growth. My 5th grade students are hard workers, and each day they show up at school they are trying their best to do well.

My Project

My 5th grade students have been showing up and showing out in a positive way in their work. I am super proud of them. They have been working really hard and they have been making tremendous effort to do well in their work. Proud is not enough to define how I feel about the effort my students are making towards learning.

I would love to be able to support them by providing them with medals and trophies to continue to encourage them and motivate them to continue to excel.

93% of my students showed growth in their STAR ELA and I am beyond proud of their accomplishments.
