My Project

In today's kindergarten classroom hands-on learning is a must where students have to socially interact with others as they learn. Building students' fine motor skills at a young age will help foster their ability to continue to write at an older age too. Although I realize that fine motor alone will not be the key factor in their learning, I found that adding in social-emotional games and objectives will also guide them throughout their years. I have added items for my classroom that allow my students to interact with each other in the form of "play" so they do not realize that I am also making observations about their learning so I can continue to guide them throughout the year.
