Help me give my students the tools they need to build fine motor skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garrity's classroom raised $196

My Project
My students are amazing however they lack the proper tools to help them build the skills necessary for daily skills. The pencils will help them to not only build their fine motor skills but they will give the opportunity to practice writing and learning the letters in their name. Daily writing is an important part of learning in the early years. Students are able to associate writing with reading which is so important for students at a young age. The more they practice the easier it will be for them to succeed.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
