Building Our Muscles and Minds

Help me give my students the chalkboards, building sets, and activities to improve their fine motor and cognitive abilities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Palmer's classroom raised $429

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students, who are special learners, require a diverse range of materials to support their fine motor and sensory skills, and cater to their unique learning modalities.

With these items, my students will be able to string, dot, and write during centers and morning meetings.

These materials are not just tools, but catalysts for my students' development. They will help them develop fine motor and critical thinking skills, learn to pay attention to detail, and enhance their ability to focus on tasks. They will also develop memory and language skills, and the materials will help them solve problems.

Your donation to my classroom is not just a financial contribution; it's a vote of confidence in my students' potential. It is greatly appreciated because it helps the students develop the skills they need to function in other capacities.
