My Students

I have a group of twenty amazing four year-olds. We are located in a small rural district in northeastern Oklahoma. The majority of the schools in our district are Title One. Our community has a very high Native American population, as it is the home for nine Tribal Nations . Many of my students, are experiencing being in a school setting for the first time. We are preparing them, and building a foundation, for them to continue to become successful scholars.

My Project

In years past I have witnessed my students love for light. I have had overhead projectors that my students love working on. However, the overhead light is too bright for my students to work with frequently.

Adding a real light table to my classroom will allow my students to get hands on with early math skills, and will also allow my kiddos to work their fine motor skills.

Both of which, in Pre-K are starting to develop. A light table will enhance their introduction to early skills that will be built upon through out their elementary career.

With a light table, they will be able to explore with manipulatives, work on patterning, sorting, sequencing and one to one correspondence. They will also be able to play with light and colors. The excitement that this will bring to our room will bring interest to early skills.
