Fine Motor Writing Skills

Help me give my students the aid needed to help with writing skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harrison's classroom raised $613

This project is fully funded

My Project

In Pre-school, I am finding this age group is having a hard time with fine motor skills, especially pencil grasp. I want to try various grasps for them to test out. We also need writing paper that is a resource for this age group to help them with letter size. We want to create a stained glass project to hang on the windows with construction paper and contact paper. The scratch-off paper will enable each student to use their imagination to create a design to display in our classroom.
