My Project

Students lost a year of social development as well as fine motor growth from the use of tablets and technology during the pandemic. We want to develop strong minds and strong hands to help us be successful for our future.

The use of these products will help students be able to develop social skills during their imaginative play, as well as develop strong fine motor skills while practicing important early learning skills.

Receiving these materials will help my students get ready for first grade and to be successful in the future.
