My Students

This year my students have been through a lot of change. Not only going through the pandemic but they’ve had several teachers before me. We are just now bonding as a class family. I hope through generous donors our class can receive materials that will make our classroom a fun learning environment. We would like a light box so that they can explore light and experiment with how light works.

My Project

This will help them see that objects are three dimensional. The block area will definitely be on a much higher level than before with many activities around the light table. This will have them asking questions and making connections. Exactly what we want in 3-5 year olds.

Science being integrated into other subjects starts very early and with tools such as the light table it’s making learning fun for the Pre-K.

Children who are not bored will learn and retain what is being taught to them. I think this is true with adults too.
