This thoughtful gift has had a meaningful and lasting impact on our students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nSince the light table was introduced, it has quickly become one of the most engaging and versatile tools in our classroom. Students are naturally drawn to it, using it to explore shapes, colors, letters, numbers, and patterns in a hands-on and interactive way. The illuminated surface has sparked curiosity and encouraged deeper investigation, supporting early science, math, and literacy skills.\r\n\r\nThe light table has also been especially valuable in supporting different learning styles. Students who benefit from sensory-based and visual learning are more focused and confident while working at the table. It has fostered collaboration as children work together, share discoveries, and communicate their thinking with peers. We have seen increased engagement, creativity, and problem-solving during both guided activities and independent exploration.\r\n\r\nYour donation has enriched our classroom environment and provided our young learners with opportunities to explore, experiment, and grow in meaningful ways. We are truly grateful for your support and for the positive difference you have made in the lives of our students.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in early learning and helping our Transitional Kindergarten students build a strong foundation for future success.","fullyFundedDate":1763474847129,"projectUrl":"project/learn-with-light/9482402/","projectTitle":"Learn With Light","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rico","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1859200_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1545025373899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1859200"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74819","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":511,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":74819,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kennedy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kennedy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/dinuba-unified-school-district/j-f-kennedy-6th-grade-academy/74819"}
