The items I need will help increase skills in my students’ learning. Some of my students struggle with fine motor skills. Pre-kindergartners benefit from experiences that support the development of fine motor skills in the hands and fingers. Children should have strength and dexterity in their hands and fingers before being asked to manipulate a pencil on paper. Working on dexterity and strength first can eliminate the development of an inappropriate pencil grasp, which is becoming more commonplace as young children are engaged in writing experiences before their hands are ready. The Magic Water Marbles, Soft & Safe Families Set, Math Counters, and Sensory Sand Ice Cream will help with fine motor development. Young children learn through using multiple senses simultaneously. Hands-on learning with concrete objects leads to abstract thought as they grow and develop. In play experiences, combining the sense of touch with the senses of vision, hearing, taste and smell helps build cognitive skills. Sensory items help with touching and smelling things. For our students, they have a fear of touching things or experiencing items Sensory items will give them exposure of and show them that it is okay to touch or smell something that is new. By using the Rhythm Set, Mystery Capsules, and Sensory Sand will help my students learn through their senses. The counters and puzzles will help my students learn math skills through hands on activities that are interesting to them.
