FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Goodine's classroom raised $169

This project is fully funded

My Project

During the start of each school year, our Kindergarten classroom focuses on strengthening students' fine motor skills. Fine motor skills help young learners perform task such as grasping and manipulating objects, as well as writing. These skills are crucial in helping students explore the world around them!

This year each student will have their own journal where they can explore writing lines and making shapes with crayons and pastels, creating collages with stickers, and exploring textures using paints and paint stamps.

The materials requested for this project will help us provide additional resources to our fine motor tubs and journals. Through this practice, students will have the opportunity to increase their fine motor skills in authentic play-based learning!
