My Project

My 5th graders are awesome, inspiring, and fun. Please help me give them an environment that reflects their extrodinary capabilities. I am requesting you help to order blacklights and blacklight activity supplies. The activity supplies include neon decor to give my classroom a specific theme so that the students can become more engaged in the lesson. The supplies also include neon balloons for lesson activities in which students will pop balloons to find the questions and answers. I am also requesting blacklight flashlight so that when they read to themselves or a partner, the text will pop!

My students will be more engaged in learning about science when they enter my classroom and feel as though they are invited to a neon party!

As a teacher, it is always difficult to find new and exciting ways to keep our young learners engaged. I want my students to feel like they are not only learning, but they are having a unique and memorable experience as well.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
