It is amazing to me what Ms. Melanie comes into work with! Sunday evening while I was prepping sunflower seed heads she was putting a basket of tiny coloured shot glasses together. I thought at first we might be mixing some drinks, but than I realized it was for the light table (kidding about the drinks). I love how the light reflects through the coloured glasses and so do the children. There has been much exploration going on at the light table and I am glad for it. We have this beautiful table and I often seem at a loss for how to use it or what to put on it. I am open to suggestions for sure. We do have some cool x-rays that we will be getting out soon but for now it is all about colour and building. Have any ideas about using the light table? I would love to hear them!

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty for fall leaves. You could wax the leaves to make them a bit more durable for the classroom. Hmmm. Will give it more thought!
Wanting my own light table, but totally can't be justified (:
Very fun! I'll google what to do with a light table :)
ReplyDeleteso lovely and so simple!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I have some ideas in mind, maybe you already have it; see colors and combine them to create a new color (maybe with tissue paper works); trace a drawing or shape on paper as if you were using tracing paper. I Hope the ideas are useful.
