My Students

I have a wonderful group of 3 to 5-year-olds in my preschool special needs class. They are so precious and eager to learn.

We love to play, practice writing, and nurture friendships in our classroom.

Our wide range of abilities and needs makes each day a new adventure in preschool! We are also a Title I school which means our students have many needs inside and out of the classroom. Please consider donating to our project!

My Project

We were recently given a light table to use in our classroom, and we would really love some fun and educational items to use with it. I've found some really cool things like number tiles and magnetic blocks that I just know my preschoolers will love. We can work on so many skills with the items I've chosen!

Children learn best through play, and the items I've chosen for our light table will help them learn in a fun and engaging way.

Skills like patterning, counting, sorting, and number identification will be achieved, as well as increasing their fine motor skills! I hope you will consider helping my class light up our light table experience with new learning tools!
