Mrs. Nelson from Eureka SD is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

STEM: Learning with Light and Sensory!

Help me give my students a light and sensory table for STEM and interactive play in the classroom. We love hands-on learning and exploring, so what better way to do this than with light and sensory activities.

My Project

We would love to have a light/sensory table in our Kindergarten classroom. We love STEM activities and using our hands to learn any chance we can. What better way than to use a table to explore with light and other sensory objects in our everyday learning. We would use this in small groups during center time, we can use it during one-on-one time with a teacher to practice things we have learned. We could also use it during science and math with different manipulatives to practice concepts we have learned.

My favorite way to use this would be for play time for students to explore!

Think of all the FUN and LEARNING that could be had during those times at the light and sensory table!
