  • Fine Motor and Social Emotional Activities and Practice!

    Funded Dec 5, 2024

    When my students first saw the new fine motor skill materials, their excitement was undeniable! They eagerly explored the different tools, from tweezers to lacing cards, with wide eyes and big smiles. Many of them immediately started experimenting, trying to pick up small objects or thread strings through tiny holes. It was incredible to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they realized these materials were both fun and challenging.

    One of our favorite activities so far has been a fine motor "station rotation" where students practice different skills at various centers. Some students have been using tweezers to sort pom-poms by color, while others are strengthening their hand muscles by squeezing playdough and using stampers. One of the most memorable moments was when a student, who usually struggles with hand coordination, successfully completed a lacing card for the first time. He proudly held it up, beaming with confidence, and his classmates cheered him on!

    As we continue using these materials, our next step is integrating them into more structured learning activities. We're incorporating fine motor work into our literacy and math centers, like using clothespins to clip letters onto word cards or manipulating small objects for counting practice. These hands-on experiences are helping students develop essential pre-writing skills while keeping them engaged and excited to learn. Thanks to these resources, my students are building the strength and coordination they need for future academic success!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Compton

  • Help Give My Students Headphones!

    Funded Feb 14, 2024

    I just want to begin by saying how grateful I am to even have the opportunity to be writing this!!!! As many know, technology is constantly evolving, and as teachers we are trying to keep up with the times and the newest technology to help our students.

    There are many sites to help students learn and track their data. Our elementary uses these sites daily, but unfortunately it becomes hard for students to learn when there are 18+ computers talking at once (and it drives my brain crazy too!). Having headphones allows students to be able to focus on what they are working on, and allows me to meet with groups in a quieter environment with less distractions.

    My students were so excited to open their new headphones to use! Their faces were priceless!!! This generation is catching on to technology quickly and they benefit from it.

    We are so thankful for the help we have received!!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Compton
