Welcome to GLOW DAY! The kiddos were excited to see our classroom transformed.
To start our morning off we rotated through GLOW math stations! One of those stations was glow bowling! Students took turns throwing the ball. After the pins were knocked down, everyone had to write a subtraction equation to represent how many pins fell down or how many pins were still standing.
Another math station was glow Jenga. Students played this game with Mrs. Jojo. Each Jenga piece was covered in 1 of 4 colors of neon black light tape. After the child successfully placed the Jenga piece on top, he/she had to take a math question card that corresponded with the color on the Jenga piece. Every student had to write their answer to the question on their glow board.
The last math station we had was a measurement station. Students had to walk around to room measuring neon lines with snap cubes. Once they got the measurement, students recorded their responses on their recording sheet.
When it was time to work with me at the reading table, students had to put on their reading detective hats. We have been working on reading and find evidence in text to support comprehension questions. Yes, we got to use highlighters again to highlight the evidence.
We had so much fun on GLOW day! We also read books by flashlight and we practice writing our words with special invisible ink that only showed up under the blacklights.
I head many of the kids say, "This is the best day ever!" and "I love this class!" This is exactly why I love my job! They were sad to see this day end, but I told them you just never know when another special day will pop up! I have many more tricks up my sleeve!
