My Project

I teach a lively group of 5 to 7-year-olds who have incredible potential. The supplies listed in my cart will assist my K/1 life skills students in developing their fine motor skills. Some of my students do not yet know how to hold a pencil, so I believe the supplies in my cart will be beneficial for them. They truly enjoy building with magnets and blocks, and they ask to use playdough and the sensory bin daily. After our fine motor and sensory activities, we need to clean our tables.

Thank you for supporting my class!
