My Project

My students are about to enter their last month of kindergarten! They have become excellent readers! I want them to know and experience how fun reading is!

I will cover my windows in the classroom with black paper to make the room dark, and we will use flashlights to read.

The black lights will add a fun element when scholars can see their book pages glowing! Scholars will have a free choice of books and where they want to sit or lay down!

I’m excited to bring this fun experience to my students in order to celebrate their achievement of learning how to read in kindergarten!
