My Students

Teaching children with special needs is truly amazing! I have the privilege of teaching children with profound learning disabilities from kindergarten to 6th grade. I go to my class every day looking forward to seeing their smiles and helping them achieve their goals.

My Project

Fine motor activity involves the use of small muscles that control the hand, fingers, and thumbs. Fine motor skills help children perform important tasks such as feeding themselves, grasping objects, writing as well as cutting. The ability to accomplish self-care and everyday tasks by using fine motor skills helps a child’s self-esteem and confidence grow.

These products will help my students to strengthen their fine motor skills as well as strengthen their self esteem.

All of my students are challenged with developing their fine motor skills. From using a utensil to feed themselves, to writing their name, each of my students would benefit from the products that I am asking to get funded.

Thank you so much for helping my students develop and strengthen their fine motor skills as well as developing and strengthening their self esteem!
