Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love exploring and creating at our light table! They use transparent letters, numbers, and magnets to build and learn through play. A golden tray and light sensory manipulatives would be a great educational addition to our classroom that my students would appreciate for years.

Light table accessories would provide my students endless STEM exploration and play possibilities.

Students explore the light table daily, and I would love the opportunity to switch manipulatives at this center to provide them with choices of materials. PreK students in my classroom learn through project-based activities, and your contribution would facilitate my ability to use our light table across many different units of study! Thank you!
