Illuminating Learning: A Sensory Light Table for Hands-On Exploration
Help me give my students a sensory experience by setting up a light table with translucent objects, colored gels, and light-up toys for them to explore and interact with, stimulating their sense of sight and touch.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are highly engaged and curious, always excited to explore new ways of learning. The resources I’m requesting will provide them with an interactive and sensory-rich experience that will support their growth and development in multiple areas, including collaboration.
The light table and translucent materials will help students explore colors, shapes, and patterns, promoting creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork.
As they work together to manipulate objects and interact with the light, they will develop fine motor skills and enhance their problem-solving abilities. These resources will also encourage collaboration as students share ideas, explore new concepts, and learn from each other in subjects like math, science, and art.
My goal for this project is to create an environment that supports hands-on learning, fosters curiosity, and encourages collaboration, allowing students to engage with concepts in a fun and meaningful way. What makes my students special is their diverse learning needs and their ability to thrive when given opportunities for exploration, teamwork, and discovery. This project will help them connect with the material in a way that resonates with their unique learning styles while building important social and communication skills.
