Springing My Way Into Substituting

Help me give my students some manipulative items to help with fine motor skills. I am working as a substitute in a preschool classroom and would like to enrich their options for fine motor.

My Project

There is a high need for manipulative in the classroom. Having the same items for every student will help prevent a lot of fighting. Some manipulatives will also be used as items to encourage walking to the bathroom, outside, and in the hall. I am in a preschool promise classroom and there is large range of skills present. I have been working in preschool for the past 2 years and put things on this list that I have seen be successful in other classrooms. I hope to make the student time at school enjoyable while also managing the classroom effectively!
