My Project

Fine motor skills are incredibly important to develop in kindergarten! The items in my cart, including paint, crayons, glue, scissors, and storage bins will help me create a vibrant, creative space where my students can use their imaginations to design engaging, fun projects. As they play and create, they will also be building the essential hand strength and coordination needed for daily independence—such as writing, zipping their coats, unpacking their backpacks, opening lunch items, and dressing themselves. Thank you for helping my students learn, grow, and build vital life skills, all while having fun! This project will allow my students to use their imagination to create art projects while building their fine motor skills during developmental play.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
