Flashlight Friday!

Help me give my students a new experience into reading time as the flashlights are to allow for us to have "Flashlight Friday"

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hillis's classroom raised $225

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project includes materials to carry out normal lessons, but also to enhance reading. This year my school is implementing a program called Reading Olympics and on Friday's, I plan on doing an activity called "Flashlight Friday". Imagine cozy reading time, with the lights off, a good book, and some dim lighting to create the ultimate cozy experience with flashlights. Students will be able to get a flashlight and sit in a cozy spot to experience a book independently. Not only will the flashlights set the mood and provide a cozy experience, but they will act as a motivator to want to read books.
