My Project

These give my students different materials to help them learn in the classroom! Some students enjoy smelly markers to color with to get their olfactory going! The pipsqueak markers will help my students who are struggling with fine motor help with their fine motor skills and help with the correct grip before they learn to write. Using the gorilla glue will help the pre schoolers feel the different letters of the alphabet once the glue dots are on the letters. This is also important to help them understand how to write the letter before they are using a pencil and paper.
