My class was excited everytime I brought a box in from the office to see what we received. We immediately started using the flexible mirrors in our Skills/ELA lessons as a tool to view their mouth formation as they \"echoed\" sounds, and identified the difference between consonants and vowels, it was a major hit, they are just the right size for my student's little hands. We use the clay/playdough and triangle shaped pencils to build fine motor skills, as my students still struggle with pencil holding, the triangle shaped pencils are fantastic, no more pencils rolling off the desk every 5 seconds😊. We also use the clay/playdough to form the focus letter of the day, they are excited to use the bright colored dough, it's color keeps their attention. The item from this project that has been the most impactful to my class, is the fidget sensory tools. I have quite a few students who struggle with impulse control and focus, the handheld fidgets are small enough not to cause a distraction, and fit perfectly in their hands, so thankful for these!! \r\n\r\nThank you for funding this project, it has made all the difference to my students❤️","fullyFundedDate":1758815613776,"projectUrl":"project/no-to-germs-yes-to-building-fine-motor/9467457/","projectTitle":"No to Germs, Yes to Building Fine Motor Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Evans","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7873439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737559021980","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7873439"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13560","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":55.7,"schoolId":13560,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Park Vista Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Park Vista Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-landry-parish-school-district/park-vista-elementary-school/13560"}
