My Students

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." (Dr. Seuss) My goal is for my students to develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom and into their everyday lives! My hope is to conduct a complete CLASSROOM TRANSFORMATION into a glow in the dark day which will make learning more engaging and fun for these young learners!

My students are readers, writers, thinkers, problem solvers, scientists, and investigators.

Despite where they come from and whether they had any prior schooling, my students are eager to learn. They are always willing to take risks and be challenged.

My school serves students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and includes a full day kindergarten program. I teach an inclusion kindergarten class. In my classroom, all of my students are between the ages of five and six years old and range in academic ability levels. My students need a complete classroom transformation to practice their reading and math skills in a new, fun, and engaging way!

My Project

Students will be spending the day GLOWING about their learning! My classroom transformation will begin by completing decorating my room with neon colors and glow in the dark items. Each student will receive a neon fedora hat to dress the part. Students will rotate through a variety of learning stations all glow in the dark themed. For example, one center will involve students writing subtraction number sentences with a glow in the dark bowling game. Another center will have glow in the dark play-doh and alphabet stamps where students can build CVC words.

My hope is to transform my kindergarten classroom into a GLOW IN THE DARK ZONE for my students to review and practice reading and math common core skills, all while having FUN!
