Miss Prinz’s 5th grade class filled up their cookie compliment chart again, earning them a “Glow Day.” The entire day was full of review activities that were all glow-themed for students.
The morning started with students getting their very own ticket to enter the room inviting them to attend the glow party. Students then got to participate in math centers consisting of glow bowling, glow ring toss, glow tic-tac-toe, and glowing task cards. After the centers, students did a neon and glow-themed reading packet while they got to enjoy some of their very own glow gear and build some accessories.
Students ended the day with glow-themed jeopardy, which got pretty competitive! Everyone did so well that each student went home with a glowing prize to remember the day. Great job, students!
Take a look at activities in Mrs. MacGiffert's Pre-K class students took part in as they honored Martin Luther King Jr. day a few weeks ago!
