Book Labels and Covers - We love to have our students get the right book at the right time. Putting covers and labels on their books helps with identifying which book to use. There are three sizes and two printing versions available. The black and white version can be copied onto coloured card for a third printing option.

Book labels are a simple yet powerful tool for organizing your classroom library and fostering independent learning. Start by categorizing your books by genre, reading level, or theme, and assign each category a distinct label. Use colorful stickers, printed tags, or even student-created designs to make the system visually appealing. Encourage students to take ownership of the library by teaching them how to sort and return books to the correct labeled section. You can also use labels to mark books for specific purposes, such as “Teacher’s Picks,” “Challenge Reads,” or “Seasonal Favorites.” Incorporating book labels not only keeps your library tidy but also helps students quickly find books that match their interests and reading abilities, making it easier to nurture a love of reading. These will make your classroom organisation easy to find the right book. Please read the description and download the preview before purchasing.

As your grade leaves the learning space, they are a perfect reminder of what has happened during their day.

The pack contains photos and instructions to set this pack up to work in your room. At the end of each school day, taking time to ask thoughtful questions can spark meaningful reflection and deeper learning. Questions like ‘What was the most interesting thing you learned today?’, ‘What challenged you, and how did you approach it?’, or ‘How did you help someone today?’ encourage students to think critically about their experiences. This practice not only reinforces lessons learned but also fosters a growth mindset and a sense of accomplishment. Reflection through questions transforms the day’s events into opportunities for insight and growth. Reflections at the End of Day will help to set a positive tone in your learning space.

There are two ways I have used them. The first method; notice when a student is doing the right thing and allow them to choose a coupon. They can then decide when they use it. The second method; is when I see a student showing the values on the raffle tickets they get a raffle ticket. At the end of each week, I draw out between 10-20 raffle tickets. Some students hold onto the Raffle Tickets and choose not to go in the draw. When they get their name drawn out they swap it for a coupon. I do not laminate the Raffle Tickets as the students write their names on the back for the drawing out on Friday. I do laminate the coupons. Both ways have been effective in my room.
