Little Learners Love Lights!

Help me give my students three light up cube seats to sit on at our light table.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Swan-Novinger (Miss Val)'s classroom raised $272

This project is fully funded

My Project

Miss Val's preschool special education class thoroughly enjoys learning through visual sensory input. My preschoolers are irresistibly drawn to anything that emits light, finding it not only highly engaging but also remarkably soothing.

I use illuminating materials in my classroom to sustain my preschoolers' attention for significantly longer periods compared to conventional learning activities.

The light up cube seats will make activities around the light table more engaging. At the light table, I can teach preschoolers a wide range of skills, including color recognition, shape sorting, pattern formation, and early math concepts through hands-on exploration and creative play.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our sensory corner. The children will be thrilled using the vibrant light-up cube seats, which will replace our worn-out stools.
