My Project

I love how curious, creative, and eager to learn my kindergarteners are. Every day, they come into the classroom excited to explore, ask questions, and discover new things about the world around them. Their energy and imagination are inspiring, and I want to provide them with as many hands-on learning experiences as possible.

A light table will be a powerful tool in our classroom.

This light table and assorted light manipulatives will spark creativity, support sensory play, and help my students build skills in areas like letter recognition, counting, sorting, color mixing, and fine motor development. It will also allow my students to engage in collaborative play, problem-solving, and storytelling in a way that feels like magic to them. With this resource, I can create a space where their natural love of learning shines even brighter.
