My Project

My kindergarten students often start the year with underdeveloped fine motor muscles in their hands and wrists. These stem toys allow them to manipulate small items while using their imagination to design structures. Using these types of toys allow kids to let their imagination run wild, while building needed muscles for writing.

Also, we need a cozy, comfortable place to gather in our classroom.

The bulk of our whole group lessons are done on the floor in a group. This classroom carpet will allow us to sit comfortably in a group while learning!
