My Project

My students are amazing learners. They take all the information they can in.

Everything they see, they learn from.

Whether it be learning sorting skills from tweezers, screwdriver skills from building letters, or even holding a crayon or marker.

These students learn best from hands-on learning. The tweezers and other things will help them actually see skills being done rather than doing these activities through say worksheets or whole group activities.

The materials and activities in this project will help my students practice fine motor skills while also practicing skills they will use throughout life.
