Help me give my students this light table and light table materials, please!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Caplinger's classroom raised $479

My Project

I have always wanted a light table for my students to use in our preschool room. I love that it is something different that will catch the students attention! We will be able to learn all kinds of standards with the light table.

The students will learn letter identification.

They will learn number identification with the translucent numbers. They can learn patterns while using the pattern tray and buttons. I have a set of translucent blocks they can build with. There are so many things you can do with the light table. I know the students will love it!
