Goal

My goal is to have students engage in a unique multi-sensory approach with the 5 components of reading during our annual literacy night.  

What will be done with my students

Students and their families will be given the opportunity to visit several GLOW rooms and participate in glow in the dark literacy activities. The activities include glow letter/sound hopscotch and glow sensory bags for the younger ones, as well as, unscrambling invisible ink sentences and invisible ink vocabulary scavenger hunts for the intermediate grades. There will also be activities targeted to all ages including a giant neon scrabble game and a glow in the dark read aloud room.
Some of the materials are reusable and can be repurposed after our literacy event to create glow literacy opportunities in individual classrooms. For example, when 4th grade reads about the Mariana Trench and the fish that live in the deep a teacher could transform their classroom into an underwater glow reading experience. Or we could reuse the materials to have a glow dance party to celebrate reading goals.  

Benefits to my students

Our students and families will benefit from the opportunity to experience the 5 components of reading in a fun and multi-sensory manner. They will see that learning and reading can be fun. It will leave them with memorable experiences that they can connect to their classroom instruction. These type of experiences help to build neural connections and file learning into long term memory.  

Budget Narrative

My budget includes the expense of the black lights needed to make the room "glow" and all of the materials needed to create the activities for each of the glow rooms.
