My Project
The children in my classroom are eager to explore everything around them, and they enjoy using the manipulative materials that are available. The students love to play and learn, and through this, they sharpen their minds by developing ideas and improving their social skills and cognitive abilities.
Students will use the Hand2Mind Alphabet to practice matching and learning the alphabet, and will also explore, create, and use their imagination with blocks, beads, Play-Doh, and gems.
Most importantly, they will exercise their fingers to improve fine motor skills, which are essential for writing.
My students are young children eager to learn and explore. They love learning through play, which is how they develop many important skills, including how to interact with one another and the world around them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
