If I can make learning more fun for my students, then I'm going to do it. When it comes to reading my kids are pretty good. However if I can make it more fun in someway then I well. Today was overcast and the clouds covered the sky. And made our classroom that much darker so I decided to forgo our plans this morning, give everybody a glow bracelet and let them read in the dark. We call this glow-in-the-dark reading. The kids absolutely love it. Some of the kids wear their bracelet around the wrist and hold it up to the book, and others will leave their bracelets straight and use it to track their reading. Something so simple, that doesn't really cost a lot, makes reading that much more fun.
Earlier I had showed you pictures of the tents we have in the classroom. Today my students who are on tent time loved reading in the TV with the glow stick and using my tablet to take AR quizzes.
They have such a blast and everyone was so engaged that I just left them read the morning away. We went out to recess and when we came back and we got back to business taking our spelling test, and finishing up our pronoun assessment. Our pronoun assessment was pretty cool and my kids will really enjoyed it. Here's a photo of what we did.
