Prekindergarten Students Learn about Light and Color

Help me give my students knowledge of how light and color work together.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McLaurin's classroom raised $224

This project is fully funded

My Project

The requested items will help all my scholars learn about how light and color work together.

Scholars will experiment with creating art and during math using the translucent stones and light table tray.

This will engage them when counting and matching quantities.

Scholars will also be able to gain understanding of scientific experiments that involve color during Science instruction.

My goal for this project is to help my students who learn visually and by manipulating the items and to entice them to learn through play and use of the imagination.
