My Project

I am requesting fine motor activities & games for my classroom to use during our morning arrival time. This is a block of play where student engage in fine motor games and tasks (under the guise of PLAY) to strengthen the muscles of their hands in preparation for writing tasks in the Kindergarten Classroom. Many students in the last few years are entering Kindergarten with fewer opportunities to engage in activities that focus on building hand strength (thus fine motor skills)as there is an increase in time spent on technology/devices, and less of an emphasis on physical hand manipulation and finger dexterity.
