My Project

I am looking for headlight flashlights to help our diverse kindergarten class to get excited about reading! Our class is filled will 25 wonderful students with varying needs including English Language Learners. We are looking for some fun and interactive ways to work together to learn how to read!

These flashlights will be used everyday in our classroom to help make reading more enjoyable.

Children really enjoy using lights and the excitement of turning the lights off and flexible seating. We will use these lights to read books with our friends under tables and in all different areas of our room. We will also use theses great headlamps to play games with hiding sight words and “seeking” them with our friends in the dark!

We are so excited to use these headlamps for “Flashlight Fridays” and in other literacy activities in our class this year!
