My younger students need a little support with handwriting. They enjoy writing, but some need jumbo pencils and pencil grips for their little fingers.
They enjoy coloring and forming letters and the jumbo grips and pencils will give them the assistance needed to form letters correctly without stress.
Many of my Kindergarten students struggle with coloring and handwriting because of the strength in their little fingers. I hate to see them grab their little fingers, rub them, and tell me their fingers are hurting. So, all of the items in this project will ease their stress on their little fingers during our handwriting time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
