Glow Day! Show Our Growth with a Glowing Party!

Help me give my students fun glowing decorations to celebrate their growth all year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shipp's classroom raised $209

My Project

We have had a fantastic year together in first grade and I would love to celebrate with the students by having a Glow Day party! This day would allow us to celebrate all of the Glows throughout the year. Students will feel appreciated and keep that excitement towards learning and wanting to grow! These blacklights, decorations, balloon, bracelets, rings, and glasses will allow the classroom to transform to a bright, engaging room for students to complete their glowing work!

I would love to highlight all the students' hard work!

With the blacklight materials we will be able to have our students glow in the dark and show their wonderful glows all day! The glow sticks will be used to make our students shine along with the decorations on the walls and at their seats! During this day I will have many activities focused on word work skills, writing, math, and reading for the students to complete with their highlighters! It will be a fun, engaging way for all students to wrap up the end of the year with a celebration!

I would love to celebrate them and all their accomplishments with a special glow in the dark day! I would use these glow in the dark items to transform my room for a fun filled day of reading and writing with all things glowing! My students are funny and curious and they deserve a fun learning day they’ll remember! I want to encourage these future leaders to continue learning and growing. I think this glow in the dark party is exactly what they need to motivate them to keep learning.
