Spark Student Motivation-Glow stick Friday

It's been FOREVER since I've linked up with Joanne for Spark Student Motivation.  Ok, it's been a long time since I blogged PERIOD.

You may remember a few months back I blogged about how to motivate my students to read independently  by introducing Flashlight Friday.  If you missed it, please click here to read about it.
So, it's the end of the year and at this point...I'm just trying to survive!!!  Yesterday was our LAST Friday of the year.  The kiddos last day is next Thursday, but I go through next Friday.

Anyway, my students love Flashlight Friday!!  But most of the flashlights are DEAD and I need new batteries.  I could easily go pick up a few batteries & mini-flashlights, but let's be honest...I'm done!!

My daughter had a party at one of those inflatable zones, but I paid extra to have a Glow-in-the-dark Jump Party.  Now, it only includes 1 glow stick per child, so I decided to go buy a bunch at the dollar store.  As it turns out, I didn't need the extra glow sticks.  Now, I'm stuck with an enormous amount of glow sticks!! What am I going to do?? This is where I get the idea to use those glow sticks instead of flashlights. 

Introducing....GLOW STICK FRIDAY!!!

Alright, I had a few that just had fun playing with the glow sticks, but it's the end of the year!!  My passionate readers really did read and enjoyed the glow sticks.

Countdown...3 1/2 more days (with my students)!!!!
