My Project

I love that my students grow into capable, independent, and joyful learners with the care and encouragement/guidance provided. The resources in this project, including fine motor manipulatives and games, will nurture students through targeted activities that will help build hand strength, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. My students will be more equipped and eager to tackle daily task with confidence and ease.

Strong motor control does more than just help children hold a pencil or use scissors.

It acts as a foundation for their entire developmental journey-academic readiness, independence, and cognitive growth.

My students love to explore and will enjoy muscle building activities that will be intertwined into their daily play and lessons.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
