Handwriting Supplies

My Project

The use of pencils and black writing pens is a daily activity in my classroom, especially during writing. I have seen a few of my students struggle with their fine motor skills and exhibit frustration when writing. I want to create a positive and safe learning environment for all students. I know that with these pencil grips, mini pens, and pencils my struggling writers will have the tools need to be successful.

In addition, I want to celebrate the success of my writers inside of our classroom.

We call lip smackers, sweet spots in our classroom community. Students enjoy receiving a sweet spot on their hand and smelling it throughout the day.
