My Project

I am asking for a light table, which comes with a tray and several bags of sensory materials to use as a sensory outlet for my students. I will incorporate it into center time and use various ways to combine learning with sensory play. I am also asking for math trays, which can be used on the light table or on their own, and will help my students expand their math skills in sorting, categorizing, counting, making patterns, and many more skills.

My goals for my students are to learn through play and to enhance skills through creativity, problem-solving, and kinesthetic learning.

We have a bilingual program at our school, and these materials will be useful to all my students, regardless of their language or background.
