It provides meaningful sensory input that helps our children engage with academic concepts while also developing fine motor skills. The table has supported a variety of activities — from letter and number recognition to color sorting and creative play — and has truly brought learning to life.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the light table has also helped improve classroom management and encouraged positive leadership roles among students. We have seen children working together, taking turns, and showing greater confidence and focus during learning time.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting difference in the daily experiences of our young learners, and we are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1692325767415,"projectUrl":"project/discovery-of-light/7661462/","projectTitle":"Discovery of Light","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pardee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4685276_orig.jpg?crop=1967,1967,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565566906330","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4685276"},{"teacherId":8813440,"projectId":9510608,"letterContent":"When our new rest mats arrived, my students were so excited! They couldn't wait to try them out during our nap time. The bright colors and comfortable padding instantly made our classroom feel more inviting and peaceful. For many of my students, this was their first time having their own personal space to rest and relax, and it has made a huge difference in their daily routines. The mats have helped create a calm environment where students can recharge and return to learning refreshed and ready to focus.\r\nWe're already seeing the impact beyond rest time. Students are learning how to take care of their mats, fold them up, and store them properly—building responsibility and independence. Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has become a more comfortable and nurturing space where every child feels valued and cared for.","fullyFundedDate":1757423993905,"projectUrl":"project/from-busy-bees-to-cozy-zzzs-rest-mats/9510608/","projectTitle":"From Busy Bees to Cozy Zzz’s: Rest Mats for Pre-K!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8813440_orig.jpg?crop=700,700,x890,y1800&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753452848295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-lau-lopez"},{"teacherId":8813440,"projectId":9496842,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! The new resources you helped provide have truly transformed our learning space. With our new tables, students now have more room to work comfortably and collaborate with one another. They were so excited when the materials arrived—smiling, clapping, and eager to dive in. They immediately began making promises to take good care of the new tables, showing just how much they value and appreciate them.\r\nWe've been using the materials every day to support our early learning goals. One of our favorite activities is practicing letter sounds through interactive games. It's amazing to watch the students eagerly call out their letter sounds while engaging with the games—it doesn't feel like \"work\" to them, it feels like fun! Letter crafts have become even more exciting as students now have the space and materials to create incredible artwork tied to each week's letter.\r\nA recent favorite project involved learning shapes in a deliciously fun way—by cutting them out of bread! Students carefully cut their bread to make circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares. After sharing their creations with classmates, they got to enjoy eating their shapes. This simple activity brought so much joy while reinforcing key math concepts in a way that was memorable and meaningful.\r\nThanks to you, our classroom is a more inviting, engaging, and joyful place to learn. We're excited to continue using these resources as we explore letters, numbers, and more through interactive, hands-on lessons. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1755727509417,"projectUrl":"project/right-tables-literacy-skills-readin/9496842/","projectTitle":"\"Right Tables + Literacy Skills = Reading Thrills, Learning Spills!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8813440_orig.jpg?crop=700,700,x890,y1800&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753452848295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-lau-lopez"},{"teacherId":7899652,"projectId":9456334,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a speaker.
