My Project

I am requesting several learning materials for improving fine motor skills for my inclusion kindergarten classroom. My students need updated, hands-on learning materials to strengthen hand muscles and practice primary learning skills.

Materials requested include markers and pens for fine motor manipulation, sensory materials like stretchy bands and stickers, and storage containers to keep things organized.

I have also requested noise cancelling headphones for students with autism who struggle with overstimulation.

These materials will be used by students with special needs, alongside typical peers to target hand strength, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills.
