Today when the students arrived they noticed something a little strange about our classroom. There was neon stars EVERYWHERE! They got to play with their busy box at their seat until it was time for the pledge and attendance. After attendance we took a bathroom break. Mrs. Laue was very sneaky and I turned on the black lights and turned OFF the regular lights. The kids were SO excited walking into the classroom and were so excited to see what parts of their outfits glowed.
Glow day is a lot of fun, but there is still work to be done! We got started making words right away. First the kids had to add the beginning sound to the rime and then write the words. They all got a special invisible ink pen, a highlighter, and neon crayons to use.
We did some rainbow writing and a sight word search next!
Making words with glow in the dark stars was also a HUGE hit! We were working on words in the -ad family today!
Days like today, it is sometimes fun to just sit back and listen to the excitement and the giggles coming from the students.
We got to have a little fun today also! We read the book A Creepy Pair of Underwear (it GLOWS under the black light!) and then the kids got to create their own creepy pair of underwear!
For math, we did some rainbow writing with our numbers. We also played a dice game where students roll either one or two dice and color the number that they get. The kids love this game and playing it with highlighters and neon crayons was an added bonus! We also had some fun counting and sorting beads onto pipe cleaners!
Glow Volcanoes are always a HUGE hit! All of my in person kiddos got to make a glow volcano today!
My remote learners also got to join in on the fun today! Instead of doing their normal Thursday work, they got an at home GLOW DAY kit with some similar activities and some different activities!
Overall, we had an AWESOME glow day!!!
