Watching my students manipulate the small, glowing pieces on our light surface is not only bringing them endless joy, but it is also quietly strengthening the fine motor skills and hand muscles they need for writing. Furthermore, exploring with the mirror items, shadows, and reflections has sparked incredible problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
