Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Light tables are such a cool experience. They can explore fine motor skills and increase their exploration, and curiosity. Children can explore the features of their blocks, natural elements, or even art projects.

Light tables help students be hands-on with their creativity while learning about transparency.

They could also take pattern and counting trays and we can use the light table for independent interventions in a fun way. This would mean making multiple patterns, counting, sorting, and identifying numbers and letters/ We would love your help to fulfill this project!
