We are using the light tables and translucent materials more often than i thought . I incorporate them weekly . We use the letter cards and letters for letter of the week . We use the sand to practice letter and number writing . I have also been able to include theme units such as gingerbread man , tree or turkey templates with the translucent shapes and clear sorting trays for categorizing . \r\nMy students love light table day , and enjoy working with the lights off. The tables offer choices and Independence, encouraging communication skills and shared learning experiences . I hope to get a larger light table to leave out daily . As well as more translucent materials to explore in other subject area.

We began by placing the X-rays on the light table, and the children eagerly worked together to match bones to different parts of the body. This hands-on project gave them a real sense of discovery, sparking thoughtful questions like, \"Is that my arm bone?\" and \"Do we all have the same bones?\" Meanwhile, the light letter tracers quickly became a favorite literacy tool. Students trace letters over and over, their faces glowing with excitement as they watch letters light up beneath their fingertips.\r\n\r\nThe first reactions were priceless—eyes wide, smiles big, and lots of gasps of wonder. One student shouted, \"It looks like magic!\" while another said, \"I want to write my name again!\" These joyful responses showed just how engaging and meaningful these resources are for young learners.\r\n\r\nOur next steps will build on this excitement. Students will continue exploring body systems by comparing their own bodies to the X-rays, and we will integrate letter tracing into small-group literacy practice. These resources are helping my TK students make connections between science, literacy, and their own lives, and I am so grateful to you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1620132935556,"projectUrl":"project/let-there-be-light-part-3/5537248/","projectTitle":"Let There Be Light: Part 3","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McCook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3876606_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473771425798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3876606"},{"teacherId":5312799,"projectId":9327473,"letterContent":"My kiddos were thrilled to be able to pick and take apart a toy on purpose .
