When I first put out some of the items on the table for free exploration, their eyes grew wide with excitement and they all let out squeals of delight.\r\nAll the students love the Mystery Box, wondering what item they will reach in and grab. They enjoy finding the initial letter on the map. The magnetic mazes are played with on a daily basis. The Ice Cream Cone Stacker is another favorite during math centers. They love making numbers and sight words with the Wikki Sticks. They tell me it's more fun than writing. \r\nThe moment that made the biggest impression with me is when I was working with the students with the 10 Frame paddles. They were having so much fun creating teen numbers and showing addition. They didn't want to stop working, not even when I told them it was recess time.\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your support and generosity. I am forever grateful that you have supported my Busy Hands project. It certainly is helping to strength their little minds.","fullyFundedDate":1763612783784,"projectUrl":"project/busy-hands-build-strong-minds/9731350/","projectTitle":"Busy Hands Build Strong Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270076"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68339","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":615,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"22.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":68339,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Territorial Early Childhood on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Territorial Early Childhood","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/chino-valley-unified-school-district-51/territorial-elementary-school/68339"}
