We are a preschool classroom, consisting of two half day sessions of eighteen 4 and 5 year olds. We serve low income families by providing a high quality free preschool experience. Many of our students have other risk factors such as, a single parent, living in an unsafe area, and many more. The students are very hands on and love learning through play. All of our students are getting ready to move into kindergarten. We want to introduce them to a fun filled year that they will remember and share!
My Project
We are very interested in light and how it provides our world with many opportunities. The materials would supply my students with a light table and the chance to identify letters and numbers, build structures that are see through, and make designs on the pegboard.
Science is engaging and a great way to turn young children into life long learners.
Light tables draw children in with their soft light and fun abilities with any subject. The little pieces help build fine motor skills. This project will provide many different learning opportunities through different mediums of play. I believe that this light table and manipulatives will help in so many ways, especially with motor skills, math skills and communication skills.
