Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
I love my PreK students curiosity and eagerness to learn each day. At this age, they love to play, but they need to develop fine motor skills needed for coloring and writing.
They need materials to develop their hands muscles.
For instance, magnetic tiles and blocks are a good choice for their age. They also need tools to make coloring and writing more comfortable and less frustrating. Pencil grips can help them get a more natural pen holding experience. Golf pencils are triangular and short, making them ideal for little fingers to grab.
Additionally, students need to feel recognized for their effort and I have discovered that stickers and snacks are the best rewards!
With consistent use of these materials and tools, my students will be able to draw and write better and as a result, they will feel more motivated and confident!
