My Project

I am requesting fine motor materials for my students. So many children are focused on playing video games that they are not using their fine motor skills like before and they are having a hard time with their writing and cutting skills. As school gets harder its so important for them to be able to write.

The materials I am needing will not only help builds their finger strength but also helps them build on their actual writing formation.

All of these materials are fun and the students will love them. If I can make learning fun while really diving deep into skills they need the students will learn and access so much faster. Please help me give my younger students the tools they need to succeed in the older grades!
