From storing puzzles to sending home book bags, they're simple to use, easy to store, and the transparent design makes it quick to see what's inside.\r\n\r\nAnd the seat sacks — those have become a class favorite! They've been a HUGE help in keeping workbooks, notebooks, and pencil pouches neatly stored and always within reach.\r\n\r\nWe are beyond grateful for your generosity and the difference you've made in our classroom.

They've been tracing letters, building CVC words, and practicing number formation with the translucent manipulatives.

Several students shouted, \"Wow!\" and \"It's glowing!\" They immediately wanted to touch and explore everything. It was pure joy, and you could see how excited they were to start learning with them.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\nNext, we'll be using the light box accessories to practice spelling words, put letters in order, and work on numbers. This will allow students to strengthen both literacy and math skills in a hands-on, engaging way while keeping the magic of the light box alive in our daily learning.","fullyFundedDate":1745343808593,"projectUrl":"project/bright-beginnings-help-illuminate-learn/9207212/","projectTitle":"Bright Beginnings: Help Illuminate Learning with Light Table Accessories!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Meek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9567171_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728065579606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9567171"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11121","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":455,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":11121,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bells Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Bells Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/bells-independent-school-district/bells-elementary-school/11121"}
