My class consists of 12 wonderful students ages three to five. Each student is unique and full of life. My students have special needs consisting of Down Syndrome, Autism or Developmentally Delayed but the one thing they have in common is they all love to learn.
Little hands, inquiring minds, active feet, and big hearts; this describes my class perfectly.
My students love to interact with technology, listen and dance to music, read books and play. They learn best when using their eyes, ears, and hands to participate in activities.
Since my class is usually the first school experience these students have, I try to make it the best! It is important to make my students' preschool experience wonderful so they have a love for learning and a positive interaction with school.
My Project
My students need a multi-sensory approach to learning and a light table is a perfect addition to our classroom. Children are naturally drawn to the gentle glow of a light table and will be excited to participate in activities and play. In addition to the light table my students need accessories to help build literacy, math and play skills.
The light table and materials are a tool that can be used for play experiences to crafts, to teaching pre-academic concepts, and so much more!
By adding this light table as a center in my classroom, it will provide an amazing sensory opportunity for learning.
