Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Play is the way to learn in our TK/K classroom! Bringing this space-saving light table to our small, but mighty learning environment would help us level up our play experiences and growth. Light tables are versatile teaching and learning tools that can be used for open play, academic learning, sensory integration, and scientific discovery.

They provoke imagination and improve observation skills.

Light tables improve emergent literacy, math, and science skills. They enhance problem-solving, spatial awareness, language development, as well as pattern and color recognition. Light tables provide opportunities for creative tasks, fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, and pre-writing skills.

My TK/K students would love learning through the use of a light table!
