Lite Up Our Classroom

Help me give my students five Lite Brites and an Osmo numbers game. This will allow them to improve fine motor skills by building sight words with pegs and practice their counting.

My Students

My students belong to a Title One school where many are on free and reduced lunch. Students in my school are very appreciative, loving, and can change the world with your help and donation.

With an emphasis on technology, students today need more assistance with fine motor skills.

At the kindergarten level we are seeing a decline in student's who are able to correctly hold a pencil. As a teacher I promote and inspire children to learn new things that will help them to be successful in the classroom.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting will benefit fine motor skills. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The Lite Brites will be used as a small group students. Students will use the pegs to build sight words and letters. The Osmo numbers tiles will be used with our Osmo kits. Through the maniuplation of these tiles, students can practice counting and addition.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' fine motor ability and mathematical concepts.

By implementing these in the classroom daily, my students will begin to improve their handwriting and hand strength. We will use these materials daily. We need your support to make this a reality. Thank you!
