My Project

My kindergarten students walk into the classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them. As are most five-year-olds, my students are full of energy and are very enthusiastic! They are risk-takers and mess-makers!

We would love supplies to help us have fun and educational glow days!

We would use the black lights and glow sticks to create a glow in the dark atmosphere. We would use the tic-tac-toe board and darts to review ELA and math concepts. We would use the neon tape to create math or CVC hopscotch boards. We will use the neon pom-poms and pipe cleaners to practice making our sight words. My students will love using the invisible ink pens to practice writing short sentences. We will use the neon cups to build and create. The possibilities to review and learn are endless!

I know that my class would go crazy for the chance to review our ELA and math skills in such a fun and engaging way!
