Putting Fun in Functional Learning

Help me give my students tools to function in every day activities and to achieve academic goals. We need magna-tiles, storage container sets, and wikki stix.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sandlin's classroom raised $988

This project is fully funded

My Project

During the pandemic students were forced into relying on computers in order to learn, by no choice of their own. Students did not have in person contact with teachers and other students in order to learn from and utilize handwriting skills.

Students did not have guidance with fine motor and hand strengthening skills in order to properly develop handwriting and other skills required for the classroom.

The requested resources, wikki stix, dough and magna-tiles, will help to build their hand strength, which will in turn improve their fine motor skills while allowing them to have fun while learning.
