These games build their understanding and help them feel more confident when transitioning to writing. \r\n\r\nEvery time I pull out one of the educational games or tools to support their fine motor skills, the students are always so happy and excited. They eagerly ask if they can keep tools like the rocket pencil or Legi liner to use in class, and when I tell them it's for them, their faces light up with joy. \r\n\r\nThese resources are making a real difference in their engagement and excitement toward learning. The next steps in our occupational therapy sessions will be using these materials to target fine motor skills, hand strength, and visual-motor coordination. These tools will create engaging activities that build confidence, supporting both academic and daily tasks while helping students develop the essential skills they need for success in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727367282338,"projectUrl":"project/help-little-hands-do-big-things-in-ot/8799455/","projectTitle":"Help little hands do big things in OT!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Le","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9759349_orig.jpg?crop=1821,1821,x0,y109&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756392350442","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9759349"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62926","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":140,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":62926,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roger Clap Innovation School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roger Clap Innovation School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/roger-clap-elementary-school/62926"}
