At Last I See the Light

Help me give my students a fun filled learning activity where they are able to fall in love with reading by having Flashlight Fridays where they curl up with a good book in a bean bag chair.

My Students

The students in my classroom are very loving and supporting. They tend to have a mind of their own. They are full of energy and full of life. I have come just about to the end of my rope with keeping up with them and their needs. I love them to death, and would do all that I can to give them everything that they deserve.

My students are joyful, and full of life.

With such active, engaging students, I have to continue to keep my enthusiasm up to maintain their attention focus. It's a challenge every single day that is rewarding, as well as successful in growing together as a class.

My Project

My students have been working hard and learning all year. They have really delved into their reading time with flex seating. Now, they are becoming board with the routine of reading. They need one more push to reach their reading goals.

Help me give life back into my students and their love for reading.

We are really growing in our abilities, but we need help to push us through to the end of the year.

I hope to give my students that joy by giving them Flashlight Friday to brighten their reading journey. The calm, quiet atmosphere of my classroom would really thrive through this fun adventure.
