These materials allowed students to explore concepts through hands-on experiences, which deepened their understanding and made learning more enjoyable. For example, the magnetic boards were perfect for practicing math problems, word building, and illustrating science concepts without wasting paper.\r\n\r\nThe Play-Doh encouraged creativity and fine motor development, especially during science and literacy lessons where students could model ideas and vocabulary in tangible ways. It also provided a calming, sensory outlet that helped many students refocus during transitions.\r\n\r\nAccess to mechanical pencils and other essential supplies helped remove barriers to participation. Students no longer had to worry about not having materials, which reduced stress and fostered a stronger sense of equity in the classroom.\r\n\r\nFinally, the student incentives and organizational tools contributed to a more focused, well-managed learning environment. Incentives encouraged positive behavior and consistent effort, while organizational tools helped students take ownership of their space and learning materials. Together, these supports created a classroom culture where students felt prepared, motivated, and excited to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1746796311821,"projectUrl":"project/treasure-trunk-of-teaching-tools/9274852/","projectTitle":"Treasure Trunk of Teaching Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ilona Jones-Saffold","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2631333_orig.jpg?crop=1483,1483,x0,y489&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627658759215","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ilona-jones-saffold"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18472","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":205,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":91,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"9.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":18472,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Long Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Long Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/attala-county-school-district/long-creek-elementary-school/18472"}
