My Project
The joy in learning comes when you get to do something new. Can you remember the time your teacher stepped outside the box and taught a lesson that had you hooked? It probably included something that she normally did not do. Well my project is to engage learners with that exact same strategy, using lights!
Learning to read is a lifetime goal, necessity, and it the goal in second grade.
This project will provide materials such as flashlights to engage even the most reluctant reader. The UV lights will be used during our biggest unit of main idea. We will use the highlighters to color code our text to find evidence, then the UV light will make that evidence pop out. This is so we are only focusing on the information we need. The lamps will be in our book nook, so that we may turn the overhead lights off, giving us a softer environment to enjoy reading. The finger lights will be used in small group and during independent reading for tracking when practicing fluent reading. My project covers independent reading, reading instruction, and reading for enjoyment. I know my students will benefit from having lights in different ways for reading!
