Mind Blown

Help me give my students the opportunity to make connections at school and home using sensory play.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lomax's classroom raised $333

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are young, enthusiastic children with the motivation and drive to learn new and exciting things. This is their first foundation of schooling and everything is new and exciting. They come to school looking for what the next great activity is going to be.

It would be nice to have items to explore with and use their imagination in the science center.

Where they can talk about their discovery, what they see.

My Project

I am requesting a light table and light table tray. Students will use these materials in school to learn how to manipulate materials to form shapes, letters and objects. They will be able to make connections to ideas at home and share with family. This would be connecting school to home with sensory play.

Children will be able to learn social skills and share with other students to build friendships and work on social emotional skills.

Children will be able to talk about what they see and what materials are used and to use other materials to make item home.
