My Project

My students are eager to learn, busy, and ready to play anytime they can! One result of COVID-19 I've noticed is a lack of fine motor skills in my students. This year, my students have significant struggles with pencil grip and cutting skills.

These materials will help students build their literacy and fine motor skills through purposeful play.

They will also allow me to incorporate fine motor practice within my literacy instruction.

Shh! Don't tell them it has academic benefits!

I also requested a set of mini lap boards which we will use daily for reading, writing, and math!
