My Project

We like to give our preschoolers a soft start to school. Having Light Tables at their fingertips would be such an amazing and fun way for our preschoolers to start their day. The colors from the soft lighting are soothing and calming to the eyes. I want my students to feel safe and welcome at school. We will be using the light tables throughout our entire school day in our Sensory Room, which will be a safe place for students to explore and get away from the classroom environment when they need a break!

Students will be exploring sensory adventures as they explore color, light, cause and effect, and more with this interactive center!

Rainbow Stones and Pattern Blocks with task cards to give students a design to follow will help with problem solving and critical thinking skills. We would be grateful to have such an engaging resource to use throughout the day in all our hands-on and STEM learning experiences. We thank you for your donation for helping to spark a light in our imagination and for helping our littles to feel safe and welcome in their classroom learning environment!
