My students are between the ages of 3 to 5 years with a variety of developmental needs, ranging from communication, mobility, vision, and social skills. Their little bodies are not made for sitting in a chair for long periods of time.
We explore through play and by hands-on experiences.
It is hard to sit and listen, we need lots of visuals and materials to learn. Not only do we need lots of visuals and materials, we need a variety to keep things interesting.
I work with preschool special education students. We learn in many different ways. Every day is something different and we overcome many challenges.
My Project
Most students love painting and creating their art; however, for my students it can be difficult because they have trouble holding a paint brush. They may not have the hand strength to hold a marker in the correct position.
This project is to help my students gain access to different fine motor tools to create their art.
I have selected markers with that are rounded to give students with limited hand strength the ability to hold the marker easier. The dobbers will make it easier for the students to hold without the mess of a sponge and clothes pin. The paint spray bottles will help with hand strength.
This project will help my students get excited to use different rollers when making their art and help them practice their fine motor skills at the same time.
