Small Muscles Are a Big Deal

Help me give my students resources to strengthen fine motor muscles. Thank you!

My Project

Young children need to strengthen the small muscles in their hands. This helps with writing skills and other self help skills such a zippering, snapping, and tying laces.

Pre-K students who have a variety of fine motor experiences are ready for kindergarten skills and expectations.

Help me provide these experiences with the resources listed in my project. Your donation goes toward materials that will benefit Title I students, students with special needs, students who speak a language other than English, and students who need activities differentiated just for them.

Thank you!

Mrs. Cole
Grades PreK-2
