Their eyes lit up with wonder as they saw the glowing surface for the first time. It was like magic to them — they couldn't wait to touch it, explore it, and start learning with it. They immediately gathered around, experimenting with translucent shapes, letters, and numbers. It was incredible to see how something so simple could spark so much excitement and curiosity.\r\n\r\nSince then, the light table has become a daily part of our classroom experience. One project that really stood out was when we used colored gel shapes to build patterns and create simple mosaics. Not only did this support early math and fine motor skills, but it also gave students a creative outlet to express themselves. We've also incorporated it into literacy activities by tracing letters and exploring the alphabet in a hands-on way. The light adds an extra layer of engagement that truly draws them in and keeps them focused.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning a unit on the seasons, and the light table will play a key role in helping us explore colors and natural materials like leaves and petals. It's already inspired a new level of sensory learning in our classroom, and I can't thank you enough for making this possible. Your generosity has made a real difference in how my students explore and engage with the world around them!","fullyFundedDate":1650584336316,"projectUrl":"project/light-table-provocation/6373000/","projectTitle":"Light Table Provocation","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cabrera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4875223_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1515523152749","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4875223"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":782,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.2,"schoolId":45824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coral Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coral Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/coral-park-elementary-school/45824"}
