My Project

My kindergarteners love having fun, exploring, and learning using different materials. They seek out new experiences and all learn through different modalities. My students are constantly curious and creative; this light panel would further support their imaginations.

A light panel will allow us to explore the properties of light and color while practicing math, language, and science concepts.

The blocks, patterning, and counting set, combined with the translucent numbers, and letters in our classroom would allow us to use this light panel during literacy stations, math stations, and free play to enhance learning.
