My Project

In my PreK classroom we are super busy learning about letters, numbers, colors, & shapes! We are building the foundation for those early literacy skills. PreK is one of the most important learning periods in a child's life!

A large portion of our focus in PreK is getting little hands ready to write!

To do so, my little babies need to strengthen the muscles in their hands. We must also work to build their fine motor skills. These little games, sorting activities, scissors, & playdough will help build those skills in a fun and exciting way for my four year old students.
