My Project

I have a fun group of 5 and 6-year-old kindergarteners who came to me with a variety of background knowledge and skills. Fine motor development is an area that I have seen a great need for in my students over the past several years.

Fine motor skills are crucial for various learning and development aspects.

They are fundamental for academic tasks like writing, drawing, using scissors and even engaging with technology. They also impact everyday life for kids for tasks such as using utensils, dressing themselves, and tying their shoes.

These items will help my students to strengthen their fine motor skills making them more successful in both their academic and personal endeavors.
