Fun With Fine Motor

Help me give my students markers, crayons and scissors so they can practice fine motor skills. The dry erase boards are perfect to practice and erase easily.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am an occupational therapist who works with students in 5 different schools. It is sometimes difficult to find materials for the students to make quality projects in each school. These supplies will help motivate young learners to try new skills, maybe using scissors for the first time! Dry-erase boards allow students to practice writing without consuming paper. I make many activities and games that need to be laminated to increase their longevity so the laminating sheets would be very helpful. I work with students ages 3-21 who all have unique needs. Thank you so very much for your consideration!
