My Project

Third graders learn about light in our Amplify CKLA reading curriculum. Glow-in-the-dark items can glow because they contain materials called phosphors. Phosphors can radiate light after they have gotten energy from the sun or another source of bright light. The phosphors soak up the energy from the light, and then they radiate this energy as light. These will be a few of the many things the kind will learn!

We are planning a Third Grade Glow Day.

We need glow bracelets, bowling ball and pins, glasses, hats, and glow streamers. The kids will have a great day learning in a super fun way. Please help support our fun activities for our third graders. Thank you for reading about the "fun" needs of our students.
