The tabletop light panel and light panel materials will provide a variety of opportunities for my kindergarteners to work on important skills such as language and communication, problem-solving, math, reading, writing, and science. All children deserve to learn through play and exploration! As a kindergarten teacher, I feel as though it is my job to provide this in my classroom on a daily basis. The light panel and materials will give an added element of excitement as the students work on a variety of skills. It's so much fun to watch my students develop a love for learning as they work on important skills!
