Let's Keep Our Lights Shining

Help me give my students a tabletop light panel to enhance language arts and math.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Draper's classroom raised $222

My Project

Bright, colorful activities greatly enhance learning in young children. What they really love are those activities they can get their hands on and explore in a very different way. This is extremely beneficial to special needs students who can become more perceptive while processing skills become more acute.

The new tabletop light panel will provide the children with varying learning styles and abilities a different way to develop their math, science and literacy skills, as well as help develop sensory and fine motor skills.

The children will have the opportunity to sort translucent letters and numbers, counting and adding with translucent dominoes, write with transparent word tiles, learn to write their letters and numbers, as well as so many more learning opportunities. The children will also have the opportunity to develop language skills, social interaction and fine motor skills.

We have used a space saving light up table for several years, but it isn't working now due to the lights being burned out with no way to replace them. The children and I would love to have the tabletop light panel to place on top of the old light table.
