I intentionally incorporate fine motor activities every day, whether it's coloring, gluing, or building with bristle blocks during small and whole group activities. In addition, I've already begun printing photos I've taken throughout the first semester to include in their memory books. I'm very excited to share these with their families when they culminate preschool in June.","fullyFundedDate":1760723429101,"projectUrl":"project/little-crafters/9659142/","projectTitle":"Little Crafters","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ortiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5605633_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756524415642","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5605633"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7443","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.3,"schoolId":7443,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ricardo Lizarraga Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ricardo Lizarraga Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/ricardo-lizarraga-elementary-school/7443"}
