Light Up Our Lives!

Help me give my students a class set of light tablets that they can use to trace images. In K-5th grade, students are still developing their fine motor skills. Light tablets can enhance their drawing skills exponentially.

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

My students have such innovative ideas. However, since they are in grades K-5, sometimes they have a bit of difficulty bringing them to fruition. Light tablets will allow the students to print out pictures of anything they want to draw and trace that onto blank paper that they can then design with a variety of materials. They will help develop their fine motor skills and help enhance their artwork. This is extremely helpful for both advanced artists and artists who might not have had as much practice. For young students, it can also build confidence, allowing them to create designs they may not have been able to create on their own yet.

Light tablets would help students take their art to the next level by creating more detailed and intricate designs.

They are an excellent tool for students to practice line-making in portraiture, landscapes, lettering, and much more. They will practice making unfamiliar lines and shading. I would like a class set so that students can connect them to their Chromebooks while in the art room.
