Light Wonders

Help me give my students the wonderful STEM opportunity of experimenting with light.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cress's classroom raised $551

My Project

My students are in Pre-k and are curious and playful. They’re always ready to explore something new and love hands-on materials in the classroom. We want to purchase a light table and translucent math manipulatives to add to our science center.

A light table will give them an excellent way to explore science, math and literacy in a fun and interactive way.

Everything they learn, they learn through play.

Our class is a combination of general education students and special education students that learn how to work and play cooperatively through shared class materials.
