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

While my playful students & I have been getting back into the swing of school, we have had to face challenges created by almost three years of COVID; one alarming concern is a large decrease in fine motor development.

Fine motor skills involve dexterity and coordination crucial for drawing, writing, and life skills such as zippering and tying shoes.

We need to build back these skills with different textures and objectives (like squishing, stacking, and sorting) in order for the students to be as independent as possible throughout their lives.
