You Light up My classroom and a giveaway!

Light boxes in the classroom! I never would have thought I would have a light box in my classroom! 

When I bought this in April, I bought it on a whim! I thought ooh a new toy for my room! 

Well this is more then a toy, It is a growth Mindset necessity!!! I am able to post messages to my students that start their day off with such a happy feeling. I changed this every day and my kids looked forward to reading their message every morning! 

Here are just a few messages:






But not only is it good for messages but you could:

1. post announcements (students of the month, birthdays)
2. Curriculum info- standards, book studies, sight words, concepts
3.  Schedules- special time, special events

The possibilities are endless!!!

The light box comes by itself but you can accessorize it with letters, emojis and awesome glitter tape. There are also phrases you can purchase as well!!! 

Here are just some of the accessories you can purchase!





Michaels and Joann Fabrics have these with their accessories!

So how would you like to win one?????? Just enter the rafflecopter below to win a light box of your own!!!!!

  3. A daily morning greeting or reminders/ dates to remember (especially on days lots of parents would be there to see it). Could be a motivator- pick a kid to put up the message who's earned that privilege. Use it as a countdown to a special event even.

  5. The 3 rows seem fitting to use with math concepts, or place it in a center, or highlight phonics/sight words, even build structures on it with colored plastic pieces as a sensory light table, use for exit tickets, etc.
