Fine Motor Activities

Help me give my students the ability to work independently and strengthen their fine motor skills

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ashley's classroom raised $333

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! These materials will be used daily during our tabletop activity time. Our students begin the day writing or tracing their names and then are able to grab a fine motor activity. The Wooden Letters Practicing Board give students a chance to practice tracing other letters that are not in their name.

My goal is for my students to be able to work independently by grabbing a tabletop activity and bringing it to their table to work quietly as we begin and end our day.
