Help me give my students tools and manipulatives to strengthen their fine motor skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cochran's classroom raised $190
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students are an amazing group of PreK students ages three to five at an inner city school in St. Louis. Their bodies and brains are learning and growing through meaningful learning experiences.
Students in PreK are developing necessary fine motor skills to be able to engage independently in more complex learning experiences in and out of school.
The tools and manipulatives in this project will help build these necessary skills. Hole punches, tweezers, and scoopers help strengthen their grips. The magnetic ten frames and cubes will help add a mathematical side to the fine motor skill building by helping with one to one correspondence.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
