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 Project

Starting the school year can be scary and nerve-racking for students, especially during kindergarten. I want my students to have different hands-on activities to practice using their fine motor skills. All the manipulatives in this project will allow my students to practice building these crucial skills while having fun!

Fine motor skills are essential for students to perform independent tasks like writing, getting dressed, eating, coloring, turning pages in a book, cutting, and much more.

Many students tend to have a difficult time completing tasks that require fine motor skills. Lacing letters, lacing beads, Play-Doh, links, water beads, puzzles, scissors, hole punches, and pencil grips will provide my students the extra practice they need to make sure they can complete independent tasks.
