My Students

The students in our classroom are thriving to learn and full of energy! Each day they come to school ready to learn, socialize, problem solve, and grow. They learn and teach each other daily and continue to show progress on the basic building blocks of learning. My students show interest and desire when implementing their skills. They create friendships and gather ideas to work in our classroom together. They express creativity and enthusiasm in each of our areas. My students love to learn!

My Project

The materials requested are crucial for the preparation of the development of fine motor skills. Some of the materials will be added into our art area that we no longer have any supply of.

They will be able to paste on different art materials requested, such as pompoms and eyes.

Students will be able to use pompoms in other ways, such as sorting and classifying. We will be able to give each student their own flashlight during large and small group activities. Dry erase markers help the students practice hand writing. These materials are all beneficial to the growth in fine motor skills and exploration throughout our learning day.
