Handwriting Without Tears

Help me give my students sensory letter tracing pads for developing their fine motor skills and white paper bags for craft projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Beseman's classroom raised $160

My Project

Learning correct handwriting strokes can be challenging, and sometimes frustrating, for little learners. Kindergarten students are still strengthening their hand muscles in order to improve their fine motor skills. These sensory tracing pads can make learning to write fun and engaging! They will help motivate my kindergarten students to put in the hard work and effort it takes to master neat and efficient handwriting. Learning handwriting strokes while having fun is a definite win/win in kindergarten!

No tears during handwriting with these fun tracing pads!

The white paper bags will be used to create various craft projects throughout the year. In the past we have used these bags to make puppets, Valentine's Day bags, and to wrap special gifts for our families. Our supply is very low and needs to be replenished.
