My Project

My twenty preschoolers love our light table however we have few manipulatives to use with it. Translucent blocks, pegs, and shapes will help the students explore the light table in a new way.

The exploration of light, color, and building are essential to keep my curious preschoolers engaged.

Students will work on fine motor skills and balance when they use the blocks to build on the light table. They will also explore quantity and numbers while using the numbers and counting cubes.

My students are always eager to engage in new activities. These material will provide quality mathematical and science experiences for them. It will turn our light table into a new learning experience each time a new manipulative is utilized! Please help me to continue to help their little minds grow!
