Teaching in a classroom filled with low income, ESL children, it is important that we provide them with a stable and effective learning environment. We need to give these students the best support and education we can to develop their young minds.
Imagination is key for having a successful classroom. In a world where iPhones and iPads are in constant use, it is important that we as educators supply our students with several tools in our classroom that lead to imaginative play and creativity. We need to provide these children with tangible objects that they can touch, feel and create with.
A light table would create a learning experience that would facilitate hands on learning. It would give my students access to a more exciting learning experience. I would be able to utilize the different accessories to create lessons that my students have never experienced. The different colors, letters and numbers would create a visually stimulating learning exercise.
The sensory set would allow my students to access and learn about materials that is not easily obtainable in suburban Pittsburgh. It’s also a way for my students to develop and strengthen senses and use different words to describe the materials. This would be extremely beneficial to develop a deeper understanding of the English language.
All in all, a light table and accessories would be a great helping hand in assimilating my students into
grasping the English language.
