As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. My students are creative, clever, and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to read, and they love lots of positive attention.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
Light is a fascinating way to engage students in a variety of activities. The light table box increases a child's attention to the learning task being presented. The light table box is designed to stimulate creative thinking, hands-on learning, and increase engagement.
My students require a variety of ways to demonstrate their knowledge.
The light table accessory kit enhances my student's abilities to demonstrate prior academic knowledge and entice the children to continue learning.
The light table kit reaches all academic areas such as early math, science, literacy concepts, as well as fine motor skills, in a fun and engaging way. Please help me reach my students further with the light table box and accessory kit.
Unfortunately we also need sand. Our sand was thrown out due to safety issues during the coronavirus.
