My Project

With this project, I will be able to give my students light boxes and a variety of light box accessories to help grab their attention and keep them engaged!

Students learn best when we incorporate all of their senses.

Using a light box is a great way to incorporate a variety of different learning styles including, hands-on and visual learning. In addition, light boxes can be used during reading, math, science, and art activities. They are a great addition to every classroom.

I can’t wait to see how much my students can learn by using a light box.
