Pre-writing Fun

Help me give my students supplies for academic centers to develop fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Boydston's classroom raised $506

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me give my students supplies for pre-writing, fine motor centers, with academic skills built in. Students will learn about letters, numbers, colors, and shapes in TK with these magnetic mazes. These easy to clean up toys support students in global skills and classroom transitions because they can put it away on their own.

Students will practice fine motor skills and academics with these engaging mazes, as they get ready for kindergarten.

Lakeshore counting rods help students develop fine motor skills and counting correspondence. Classroom star jar helps students understand their role in participating within a classroom, as we all work towards a common goal: learning!
