My Project

My preschoolers are always excited about getting new things for the classroom. We recently received a light table but do not have the supplies to use with it. Light tables are great addition for hands-on exploring and learning and what better way to learn about math, science, numbers and letters through light and colors.

I would like to provide my students with colorful shapes, blocks, and other light manipulatives to help them learn and explore more about math, science, numbers and letters.

These supplies will be a great addition to the classroom, especially for visual stimulation. These items will also help in sensory play and will be especially useful for my special needs learners.
