Light Table Magic

This new blog of mine...
Where to begin??

I had this dream that we could create an inspiring space for kids.
Full of inquiry and language and learning.
This vision grew with my school's passion for STEAM education.
I (half jokingly) shared my dream with my administrator.
"This would be my dream job", I told her.

And now. 
It's happening.

Stars aligned. Risks were taken. And here we are.
My Kinder-2nd Reggio inspired STEAM Lab.


I will slowly reveal the space, I am waiting on a few more areas to be finished...
Here is one of our favorite learning spaces, the light table.
I love watching kids work here. 
Some kids build UP. 
Some kids build flat, like a puzzle.
What are your favorite light table manipulatives?
We have legos, stones, tangrams, small cups, and these MagnaTiles.










I am also so very lucky that I get to see MY own kiddo once a week when
her first grade class visits the lab!
