My Project

My Pre-K students are full of wonder, energy, and creativity. I love watching them explore, ask questions, and learn through hands-on experiences every day. My goal is to provide a fun, interactive tool that inspires curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. I want to give my students new ways to explore, create, and build foundational skills that will support their success in school and beyond.

The light table will create exciting opportunities for sensory play, letter and number recognition, fine motor development, and collaborative learning.

It will turn everyday lessons into magical, engaging experiences that meet the needs of all learners.
