A Dedicated Space For Developing Fine Motor Skills!

My students need a defined work space to work on their fine motor skills. A table and chairs would be ideal to allow them a space where they can easily develop these skills!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students consist of inner city children that come from low-income families, some are even homeless. As a teacher in an urban district, I work with four and five year-old students ranging in levels of development. I have several students with special needs (IEPs) that are currently mainstreamed into my general education classroom. One student in particular currently has a personal aide to help support her in her daily school-related tasks.

My student population consists of inner city children mainly coming from low income families.

We are a dual-language school where students learn English and Spanish. We are proud to be a national school of character!

My Project

Having a defined area in the classroom specifically geared to help students develop their fine motor skills is wonderful! A table and chairs would be wonderful to help students work comfortably to manipulate small toys, scissors and play dough. Students will have an opportunity to explore a variety of small toys with ample space to work.

This table can be used during work time allowing the teacher to work with a small group of students at a time to target the skills necessary to begin writing!

The caddies for the middle of the table will be a wonderful and useful resource for students to easily access materials.
