My Project

There are a lot of benefits when it comes to using a light table, the first being the benefit of learning with light. Light is a fantastic source of visual sensory input. My students are drawn to light and find it calming to interact with any light source, whether it is a flashlight or just push Light dots I get from the dollar store.  It definitely keeps their attention for longer periods of time than other learning activities! It also makes activities more entertaining and engaging then without light. Having a light table and some accessories would help them develop letter recognition, color practice, problem-solving skills, building and puzzle techniques and many other positive benefits.  I have 13 very amazing kiddos with very busy hands. They learn best when they are able to explore and manipulate objects.
