  • Supporting Pre Kinder to Develop Fine Motor Skills

    Funded Dec 2, 2019

    I appreciate your enormous generosity by donating all these materials to make the classroom fun for the kids. These materials have helped my students with math concepts, and in the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which are critical to healthy childhood development and academic success. The materials

    are being used during center time as these require coordinating small muscle movements in the fingers with what our eyes are seeing. We use our fine motor skills to guide our hands and fingers in reaching and grasping.

    Adequate hand-eye coordination is necessary to perform everyday tasks. and the improvement of concentration. Focusing on specific objects and specified tasks can help the mind to disregard distractions and improve concentration time and intensity. I have seen a 60% improvement. THANK YOU!!!!”

    With gratitude,

  • Enhacing Coding/Fine Motors for our future leaders

    Funded Dec 2, 2019

    I have very exciting news!!! THANKS to your generous donations my classroom has become like an amusement park for my kids. All your donations have been enhancing the gross and fine motor skills that are an essential tool that children use in the classroom, at home and on the playground.

    Through Play (Centers or Learning Centers as we call them at school) is one of the best ways to strengthen motor skills. When given ample opportunities to play with a variety of interesting materials, young children will grow many new and exciting ways.

    THAK YOU as you have done so for my students!!!! They extremely excited about having a new center almost every day!!! Thank you for helping me enhance these studnest needs by helping me out with these soooo much needed materials!”

  • Gearing for Success with STEM

    Funded Aug 18, 2019

    The materials & manipulatives that were so generously donated by YOU for my classroom have enabled the kids to work on their fine motor exercises to strengthen hand & finger muscles and improve dexterity in the hands have helped the kids begin to dabble developing higher level thinking skills.

    My students were bursting with excitement when they saw the box delivered by the receptionist to my classroom. They were so excited and one of my students blurted out: I thought Santa Claus was on vacation until X-mas!

    I am using these learning toys during station times and the kids are truly excited to use them. My children need a lot of fine motor skills and these toys are enabling them to strengthen these skills, while also exposing them to a STEM curriculum, I truly appreciate your help THANK YOU for helping my students be the BEST they can be.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ortiz

In the past years, the pre kinder students come into my classroom with no fine motors skills, which are extremely important when starting to write. Also, they are not thinkers or problem solvers. My goal this year with the help of Donors.org is to try and get some materials that would enhance both. These materials would make my class engaging and get the students to have fun while helping them learn these vital skills. The kids will be able to use their fine motor skills by putting together the Robots and will be able to apply the higher level thinking by planning out and following direction on how to build and make the robot work.
