Hands-on, play-based learning gives young students the best opportunity to engage in the content they are learning about! It allows learners to interact with, and understand concepts in a more meaningful way. It gives children the opportunity to problem solve, collaborate, and build strong healthy social skills as they work together. In our classroom I am striving to fill our days with meaningful hands on learning! As I watch my students interact with a variety of learning tools I see their minds light up with understanding! I am hoping to add a large light table to my classroom. There are so many different ways we will use it each day. Math, literacy, and science activities will be even more engaging using the light table. Imagine students being able to look at real x-rays up close as we learn about animals! Or, using a ten frame with translucent chips to practice adding and subtracting. In a literacy activity we might be sorting our spelling words into different spelling patterns. The opportunities are endless! I am delighted to have found a larger table for my first graders. The larger size will allow four or more students to work around it at the same time. I have seen the academic and social benefits first hand as I implement hands-on activites with my students. With your donation we will be able to expand the opportunities in our classroom and continue fostering the love of learning!
