Flashlight I Spy Dinosaur Letters
This is our last week of Summer School and I was needing a fun engaging activity that would fit into our dinosaur theme. A while back I had tried an activity using flashlights and it was a huge hit! So I thought why not use the flashlights and tweak it to fit our dinosaur theme and BAM this I Spy activity was created. Since this all came together this morning 30 min before I had to leave (anyone else work better under pressure?) I did not have time to make my flashlight letters cards so I used some from a sweet TPT seller Marsha McGuie. I already had glow in the dark dinosaurs so I added them on a black sheet of paper.
I wrote up a quick recording sheet, nothing fancy due to time but it fit the bill. I differentiated the recording sheets to fit all my sweeties needs.
I hide the cards all around the room
and under the tables.
I gave everyone a flashlight, recording sheet, clipboard and turned off the lights and they were all set!!
The kids loved it!!! They were so excited to try and find the hidden dinosaurs. They liked the ones hidden under the table the best. They didn't even realize they were *gasp* learning!!! The one thing that I kept running into was it was difficult for the kids to hold everything. I am looking into buying some finger flashlights.
If you would like a copy of this activity please let me know and I will send it to you! I have made some flashlight Letter cards so you will be all set!! Enjoy!

Flashlight I Spy And A Sale!
Who doesn't love a sale? I know I have been waiting for the TPT teacher appreciation sale and it is finally here!! My cart is full and ready to check out. Lots of new clip art so look for those new products to be rolling out!
It is almost the end of our school year and and I don't know about you guys but my classes are getting pretty active! I needed to change things up and get them moving more. My class already adores the write the room or count the room activities. It gets them up and moving so I knew they would like that, then it came to me... combine everybody's favorite game flashlight tag with a write the room! And that is exactly what I did.
I made both numbers and ten frame cards so both of my classes needs would be met.
My morning class used the number cards.
While my afternoon used the ten frame cards
I differentiated my recording sheets so all my little learners would be engaged and challenged.
I made some signs to hang outside my room to create a little bit of excitement.. it worked!!
Handed out the recording sheets ( here is an example of the more advanced recording sheet)
I explained the directions turned off the lights and let them go!!
They all had a great time using the flashlights they didn't even realize that they were learning! Now that is a successful day!
