Busy Hands Are Happy Hands

Help me give my students task boxes and manipulatives to learn new work skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bracey's classroom raised $486

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our class has seven young adults, who are in grades ninth-twelfth. Cognitively my students are functioning on a Pre-K to Kindergarten level who enjoy learning by manipulating items. They learn by sorting things, assembling objects, and packing items by different attributes.

My Project

These materials will help my students develop their work skills. Using task boxes and manipulatives will help my students practice fine motor skills, task retention, and attentiveness to work tasks.

My students need concrete learning opportunities to hone their work skills for their lives after graduation.

Often if we can find appropriate work tasks, for older students, we are more able to focus on our newly developed skills. Since we are practicing for life after school, we are working hard on sustainable skills and appropriate behaviors for the workplace and in settings outside the classroom.
