In our space, students are encouraged to explore their own ideas and preferences. A variety of supplies are needed to support the interests of our diverse learning community. We have many students with special needs and motor skill deficits. Accessible materials are a must for our students to feel success is attainable and worth taking risks.\r\n Our order included tempra cakes, tempra sticks, and loop scissors. These three items are easy to use for students from kindergarten all the way to 5th grade. They provide a minimally messy product so clean up is not overwhelming. Tempra cakes mix well to create new colors and provide bright, vivid colors that excite students when they see them! Tempra sticks are a wonderful way for students to utilize tempra media without water. Their products dry within minutes to a stunning finish that can include neon and metallic hues which interest other students and encourage them to try out a new material in the Lab. Loop scissors are a fun way for students with limited fine motor control to practice cutting skills and strengthen the necessary muscles for motor control when drawing, painting, and cutting.\r\n We are so thankful to have these materials in our classroom. Our Art Lab is an environment where every child can be successful. Thank you for helping to make this happen!","fullyFundedDate":1739273847709,"projectUrl":"project/adaptive-art-materials-for-every-child/9083714/","projectTitle":"Adaptive Art Materials for Every Child","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. K","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9408082"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98854","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":397,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":98854,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ruth Cherry Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ruth Cherry Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/royse-city-independent-school-district/ruth-cherry-interm-school/98854"}
