My Project

I have observed endless energy, creativity, resilience, and many more characteristics in the students I have encountered while working with them. Our school is a Title I school. We have a strong support system for families and parent involvement. Additionally, a lot of students are new to the school system and education. Their vivid smiles bring joy to all those around them. To promote and enrich creativity and innovation in the classroom, students should be able to have access to developmentally age-appropriate curriculum materials and manipulatives that enhance their growth.

The Magic Boards, Magnetic Designer, and other fine-motor manipulatives will create a vivid hands-on approach towards STEAM and fine motor development.

Utilizing fine motor skills will support growth and development within the Pre-K environment. Additionally, students who experience difficulties interpreting and organizing input from other things that they see in the classroom or school environment will benefit from the magnetic tiles by being allowing to connect and build through the use of their creativity. Physically, visually, and mentally, using the STEAM fine motor materials will aid and support students in their early childhood years.

Thank you.
