My students are drawn to it immediately, and it sparks so much curiosity and excitement. They love exploring and discovering on their own, and I love watching their creativity and confidence grow every day. It's amazing to see them so engaged while learning important skills without even realizing they're learning!\r\nI use the light table in so many different ways. We mix colors, build patterns, explore shapes, and create stories with the manipulatives. It helps with fine motor skills, problem-solving, and teamwork, and it makes every lesson feel exciting and hands-on. No matter what skill we are focusing on, the light table adds an extra layer of discovery that really helps the learning stick.\r\nIt has also brought such joy to the classroom. Kids collaborate, share their ideas, and celebrate each other's creations. It encourages patience, creativity, and confidence, and gives students space to explore at their own pace. I am so thankful for this resource because it truly transforms our learning and brings so much happiness and growth to my classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1661010242272,"projectUrl":"project/help-light-up-our-classroom/6603416/","projectTitle":"Help Light Up Our Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Combs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7948479_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758382270526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7948479"},{"teacherId":4461152,"projectId":9112569,"letterContent":"The City of Ember sparked so much more than just excitement—it became a gateway to deeper reading comprehension skills in our classroom. As we read, students practiced making predictions, drawing inferences, analyzing character motivations, and identifying cause-and-effect relationships. They also began exploring themes like perseverance, problem-solving, and the importance of hope and courage in challenging situations. The book naturally encouraged thoughtful discussion and critical thinking, and because students were so engaged, they were more willing to push themselves to answer comprehension questions—something they typically resist.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an immersive, shared experience. We read aloud together, pausing to discuss, question, and connect. The excitement is palpable—students eagerly anticipate each chapter and often beg to keep reading. We create space for discussion, predictions, and even debates about the characters' choices. When a story captivates my students like City of Ember did, reading becomes interactive, joyful, and full of energy. It's not just about fluency or comprehension—it's about building a love for stories and learning through them.\r\n\r\nMy students who typically struggle with or shy away from reading have shown the most surprising growth. A few of my reluctant readers were the first to raise their hands during discussions and even began reading ahead on their own. One student, who rarely speaks during class, became our unofficial \"plot predictor,\" eagerly sharing theories about what might happen next. The shared experience of reading City of Ember allowed every student to feel included, engaged, and capable—no matter their reading level.","fullyFundedDate":1739648428560,"projectUrl":"project/make-it-a-day-to-remember-help-us-read/9112569/","projectTitle":"Make it a day to Remember, Help us Read Ember!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4461152"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121428","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1121,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"30.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":121428,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kallison Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Kallison Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/northside-independent-school-district/nathan-kallison-elementary-school/121428"}
