I do the 40 Book Challenge alongside my students.
I'm a reader. My students know that I love books. I eat books. I devour books.
But I figure - if they need to do the challenge, then so should I.
By modeling my own progress and devotion to the challenge, I increase their fervor for it.
My progress is on display in the classroom, keeping me accountable to my students:
I wrote 2 reflection posts at the end of the last school year:
