My Students
My students are an incredible group of kids who deserve the tools necessary for learning.
They are eager to learn and deserve to be able to increase their fine motor skills in our classroom.
They come to school every day excited for a new adventure. Living in a high poverty area is not easy. School is a safe haven for many of these children. Being able to have some semblance of order in their life is so important. Knowing that they have tools to use and play with is very heartwarming to students.
My Project
Due to the Pandemic, my class will be split between students learning at home and those learning in the classroom. These tools will be divided into individual baskets for each child. The tools will help them to increase their fine motor skills which will be beneficial to them in the future.
Improving their fine motor skills will help them with their writing, dressing themselves, and being independent, which is the goal of the Pre-K classroom.
Being able to grip, squeeze, and grab will help my students increase the muscles in their arms and hands which is important at such a young age.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
