My Project

My students are in a self contained special education class. They are three and four years old and have different disabilities.

We are getting them ready for kindergarten and my project will help them to learn how to write their letters and numbers in a fun way that will engage them.

By donating to our project, you will not only help our students to learn their letters and numbers but you will give them the opportunity to increase their fine motors skills as well. Improving fine motor skills will also help to improve their ability to write.
