Your kindness has already made a meaningful impact on our students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe light table has quickly become one of the most engaging and valuable tools in our room. It provides hands-on opportunities for students to explore shapes, colors, letters, numbers, and patterns in an exciting and interactive way. It also encourages creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration as students work together to investigate and discover new concepts.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the light table creates a sense of wonder and curiosity that inspires students to learn through play. It has become a favorite center in our classroom, and I have already seen students become more focused, engaged, and enthusiastic while using it.\r\n\r\nAs you can see in these photos, we are currently learning about insects. The students are using magnet tiles on the light table to create habitats and houses for their plastic beetles. This activity combines science, engineering, creativity, and imaginative play, while helping students deepen their understanding of insect environments and needs.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a richer learning environment where students can grow academically, socially, and creatively. We are truly grateful for your support and for believing in the importance of providing meaningful learning tools for children.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a positive difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1765225763925,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-creating-and-learning-with-l/9690271/","projectTitle":"Exploring, Creating, and Learning With Light","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mandy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9592336_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757047088276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kinder-mandy"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40187","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":288,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":40187,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Weed Union Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Weed Union Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/weed-union-elementary-school-district/weed-union-elementary-school/40187"}
