In our classroom, all of our students love to try new tasks and work on fine motor activities. This is even more so the case when it's rest time. This is especially difficult when other students are sleeping and we need to be quiet. With the materials requested, I will be able to make/create task boxes for all of our students to practice their language, fine motor, personal/social, math and reading skills while staying quiet in their own areas. It also lets us give each student an individualized task to feel success and further their thinking at the same time.
