My Project

My six students are sweet, energetic, motivated children that are eager to learn and interact. These 6 kindergarten-second graders are currently in a 6:1:1 classroom in a highly specialized program that serves children with Autism. Throughout the school day, my students work extremely hard on academics, daily living skills, socialization, and communication.

Fine motor activities support independence in daily living skills and provide a strong base of pre-writing skills.

The items listed will assist in building our fine motor centers. These centers will be used to work on sharpening fine motor skills while also working on academic goals. Many of my students this year are working on becoming more independent in their everyday tasks such as self-feeding and dressing. Having new tasks that are accessible and fun will help keep my students motivated and engaged this school year. If received you can count on these items being used multiple times a day!
