My Project

Help give my students a light table! The possibilities for learning with this light table are endless! It will give these little guys the perfect opportunity to make brilliant discoveries! It will add an exciting new dimension to color and light experiments. Not only that, but it will provide large surface for building! This light table will be beneficial for ALL students by providing a source of sensory input inside of our classroom. It can be used for play-based learning as well as hands-on learning experiences! Currently, our classroom and students are in need of some different types of learning materials! We are looking to add some excitement to our classroom while allowing students to further explore their creativity! We hope you will help us!
