Our students have been obsessed with their light table and it has become a new focal point in our classroom. Students are exploring different textured items, comparing shapes and colors of items that are illuminated, and just having fun! It warms my heart to see them so excited and engaged with this new addition to our classroom. \r\n\r\nWe already have so many activities planned for the future involving the light table and its tray that are sure to be a huge hit. This table means so much to these children, as well as future students we will have. Students are able to express their creativity, build, or regulate themselves and that makes us so happy! \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much to every person who had a hand in making this project a success and bringing it to life. You have helped us make a difference in these children's lives.","fullyFundedDate":1767204846809,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-our-world-with-a-light-table/9779750/","projectTitle":"Light Up Our World with a Light Table!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brietta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10295361_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y476&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759860342565","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10295361"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2551","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":427,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":42,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"10.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":2551,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whiteville Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whiteville Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/whiteville-city-school-district/whiteville-primary-school/2551"}
