Believe it or not...it worked! As they participated, I would add stickers to my face. It really helped increase participation and engagement. I teach them in the afternoon, and they have way more interesting things to do at home then talk about literature - LOL.
Once class is wrapping up, I go to each student asking them which sticker was their favorite!

Classroom Must-Haves
This week I've been blessed with SNOW days! Yay! They haven't required us to post any content in Google Classroom or conduct any Zoom meetings - just good ol' Snow Days off!
It is hard though to turn off the teaching brain. I've been scouring the internet (and TikTok) for some MUST haves for my classroom! Some I already have and just want to share with you because they are THAT good!
First up are these Daybetter lights.
I teach middle school, and the students love these! We have fun picking the color using the remote control. These are easy to hang and remove. They add such a nice glow in the classroom. The students prefer for the overhead lights to be off, so the light from the Daybetter strips and various lamps around the room keep the room lit with a calming feel.
Next, I love anchor charts but hate the look of them just taped up around the room. My solution - these poster hangers.
These magnetic wooded poster frames are easy to use and swap out anchor charts and give such a homey feel. It was definetly worth the investment.
Here is another option for anchor charts...
I love how easy these look to use. They are budget friendly too. I am definetly adding them to my Amazon Wish List!
Finally, these book shelves...
Aren't they amazing! @happylittleteacher rocks! I have already added these to my Wish List too!
Here are the links for each of these products -

That's it for today. The snow has started back up, so I am going to go watch my pups play in it!
