My Project

My kindergarteners are bright, energetic, and full of wonder. Each day, they enter the classroom ready to learn, move, and explore. I strive to create experiences that make learning exciting and memorable for them. With this project, I hope to transform our classroom into a glowing celebration space using black lights and neon materials. Our Glow Party will serve as a fun, educational way to recognize positive behavior and academic effort while creating a joyful learning environment.

This Glow Party will celebrate how our bright minds shine, inside and out.

My students come from diverse backgrounds and face daily challenges with amazing courage and resilience. Despite obstacles, they show up each day eager to try, learn, and grow. A glow-in-the-dark celebration will not only boost engagement, but also make each child feel seen, valued, and proud of their progress. This event will combine fun with learning—through glowing sight-word games, math activities, and movement-based learning under the black light.

Your support helps bring light, joy, and confidence into our classroom. With your help, our kindergarteners will not only glow… they’ll grow.
