My Project
Please help my students improve their fine motor skills in the classroom setting. I am an Occupational Therapist working with students in Pre-K 3 to second grade.
I am looking to add some new activities to my treatment sessions to help improve the hand and finger strength of these students.
These foundation skills help with later developing pre-writing and writing skills for classroom success. Children these days are demonstrating weaker fine motor skills due to the increase in screen time. These new activities will help to re-engage them in hands on learning to improve these skills in fun and exciting ways.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
