Learning Through Play and Discovery Without Even Knowing It!

Help me give my students a sensory light table to be used to help improve their literacy, writing, music, math, and science skills. Because they create such inviting learning spaces, kids get to learn through play without even.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

Our Kindergartner's are highly encouraged to utilize learning through different types of play. Using them in our Kindergarten setting will provide a wonderful teaching and learning tool. They are a calming influence in the playroom and will spark the children’s interest to explore color mixing, shapes, and patterns. With this light table and inviting resources, my students will be encouraged to think critically and creatively. In many areas of learning.

By donating to our classroom, you will provide my little ones the opportunity to learn many problem solving skills and great imagination!

Also, it will help develop and enhance their vocabulary!
