My Project

The materials requested for this project will support students from kindergarten through grade 4. Many of my students are working on developing fine motor and sensory processing skills in order to be more successful in the general education classroom. I like to find fun, new ways to incorporate these skills into our sessions and these materials will help make that happen.

Fine motor skills are essential for success in school and are important for the development of handwriting.

Sensory processing skills are important for helping students remain regulated and focused throughout their day. The spinner and sand will help students get the input they need to be successful in class. The other materials will assist with the development of the student's fine motor skills.
