We brought the light table into Kitah Alef. We covered the window with a dark blue paper to create more darkness, so that the light would stand out. It took a little while for the children to notice it was there, all the way in the back of the room. Once Eliza discovered it, everyone crowded around. Eliza picked up a green shiny wooden block. Morah Myriam: "What color is that Eliza?" Eliza: "Green."
The children moved the magna tiles around on the light table. Shane: "Look!" (picking up a block from the light table) Shane: "Look at this light, all these colors!"
Rafi stacked the blocks one on top of the other and made a tower. There were circles, triangles and squares to explore.
Shane and Benji held the blocks up to their eyes to peer through the colored glass. Morah Myriam "What color is that Shane?" Shane: "Blue.... Eli is hiding" (Eli (Yisroel) was hiding behind the light table.) Morah Myriam: "There he is!"
Zoey came along and picked up a wooden see through block with all kinds of shapes inside it. She held it above her head and peered through it. Having the light table in our room is such a treat. We are continuing to learn our colors and we are exploring shapes at the same time.
