My Project

"This Little Light of Mine," best describes the enthusiasm and joy my little 3 year old preschoolers bring to my classroom each day. As a teacher in a bilingual classroom, I'm always searching for ways to engage my students in meaningful experiences that promote language development. Not only would I like to nurture the light within them, I would also like to bring light into our learning environment through the use of a sensory light table. Exploring math and literacy concepts through their 5 senses is how our preschoolers learn best. The light table and sensory manipulatives will provide my little learners many wonderful moments to shine bright!
