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

Help me give my students some sensory fun with a tabletop light table. This table will allow students to explore, create, discover and use their little minds to have fun, play and more!

Students will enjoy exploring items on the sensory light table!

The benefits of using a preschool light table center are almost too numerous to list! In addition to the sensory experience, children can work on: fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and cooperation.

The lighted surface draws kids in and enhances the learning process. Children learn best visually. The light table makes the visuals the main feature of whatever lesson the child is learning. This also enhances the colors and provokes a little one's imagination.
