  • Strengthening Fine Motor Skills with Puzzles!

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    Thank you for your kind donation to help provide educational puzzles for my students.

With your support I am able to create a more engaging and interactive learning environment for my students which will ultimately help them succeed academically. Your contribution is truly appreciated and will make a positive impact on the education of these young minds.”

  • Strengthening Fine Motor Skills Through Play!

    Funded Sep 21, 2024

    My students find great joy in creating with playdough as it allows them to use their imagination. They make fun items like ice cream, pizza, and cookies which sparks their creativity. In addition to crafting, they practice their alphabet by forming letters out of playdough, reinforcing their writing skills. Playdough is also providing them with excellent opportunities to learn how to use scissors safely.

    My students were thrilled to receive a large supply of colorful playdough. They use it every day with various playdough tools that help improve their fine motor skills. This practice has greatly benefited them as it has made it easier for most to hold writing tools correctly. As a result many students are beginning to write letters of their names with confidence. The excitement of using playdough has not only made learning fun but has also supported their development in important skills.

    Thank you for providing my students with playdough to strengthen their fine motor skills through enjoyable activities!”

    I just want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude. Your generosity has truly made a difference in our classroom. These supplies will surely inspire our students even more! They already have such a great time during center time, and I can't wait to share the news about all the new writing tools we will have for them to explore. I know they will be ecstatic! Thank you for the Wikki Stix, Trace and Write Alphabet center, and for the LCD writing tablets! Your support means so much to our class, and I genuinely appreciate it!”
