My Project

The light table in my classroom is a favorite! I want to encourage deeper science, engineering, and math exploration with new light table manipulatives. The translucent building blocks help build engineering skills by allowing preschoolers to see and play with how the blocks fit together. The students in my classroom all qualify for public preschool based on low income. Providing experiences with STEM concepts at the preschool age sets the foundation for learning in the future.

As with everything in the preschool classroom, these tools will fill a need with multiple content areas: Language Development, Math, Science, Art, and Literacy.

Students can use the blocks to build letters or practice forming their names. They can use the rainbow pebbles to create art. The pattern blocks build geometry and math concepts. The magnetic blocks help students learn about magnets and building concepts. Encouraging conversations between students and teachers helps build language development. The added bonus is that students learn through play! In early childhood, play is the work of children!

Your donation will help provide experiences and learning throughout the year in this classroom. The tools will be changed out regularly so students are always curious and engaged in new play.
