Help me give my students basic fine motor materials, like scissors, to promote their fine motor development skills and to allow them the opportunity to complete assignments.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are energetic and fun-loving kids. They come from low-income households and have not had much experience with the world outside of their community. Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in my classroom each day which are now remotely served.
Most of my students do not have access to supplies in their homes that are needed for remote learning.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic they are now distant learners. This has been challenging in many ways for them; completing assignments has been no exception. Many of them depend on worksheets packets and whatever books or materials they may have. My students would benefit from a variety of classroom resources to help increase their success in our current remote distance learning platform. Despite the hardships faced while learning remotely, they are eager learners.
My Project
Throughout the school year, children in my classroom are given multiple opportunities to explore and experiment with a variety of tools to help foster their development. In the domain of physical development, fine motor skills are one of the areas focused on. This has proven to be a challenge for my students this year. Now that they are learning from a distance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of my students are encountering setbacks.
In an effort to continue supporting my students fine motor skills while learning from a distance, I am asking for basic materials that will help foster their fine motor development which in return will promote strengthening of their wrist, hands and fingers; while foster writing skills.
By obtaining these materials, the students in my class will be able to increase their eye-hand coordination, develop their bilateral coordination, and dexterity. They will also be able to complete the assignments given to them which I know they are eager to do!
