Flashlights, Fun, and Focused Learning!

Help me give my students motivating supplies for Fun Fridays. We need water bottles that don't spill, and flashlights for our "Flashlight Fridays" when we read our favorite books with flashlights.

My Project

Our classroom is always looking for creative ways to celebrate hard work and keep students motivated. One favorite tradition is Flashlight Fridays—a fun reward where students who meet their weekly goals get to read in the dark with their very own flashlight. It’s a cozy, magical way to end the week and helps build a positive connection to reading.

Help us light up learning and stay spill-free!

We’re requesting small, sturdy flashlights to make our Flashlight Fridays even more exciting and meaningful. We also need high-quality, spill-proof water bottles that I will personalize for each student. These will keep students hydrated without worrying about messes or tipping accidents, especially when we’re on the go. Your support will make our Fridays brighter and our classroom cleaner, calmer, and more focused—every single day.
