My Project

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at and read my project! Due to uncontrollable events, my classroom is losing half its amazing materials. Included is our light table! By having a light table in the classroom, the students can mix and match different color of light toys making and discovering other colors. Pre-k is a wonderful age with developmental learning going on. Having a hands on learning resource such as the light table with the Lakeshore Learning manipulative's will have the students engaged in their learning and discovering light and shapes.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
