Celebrating 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
Strong hands lead to strong minds! Help our students build grip strength, focus and confidence with hand grippers that make learning hands on-literally!
I have several students with poor grip strength and we are in need of pencil grippers to help improve a more functional grip for my students.
Handwriting is very important, holding the pencil properly creates a more solid foundation for young learners as they are learning to hold a pencil.
Several of my students struggle with holding a pencil properly, using these pencil grippers will allow students to hold pencils and other handwriting tools with greater ease and confidence. Poor hand grip and weakness can lead to decreased handwriting skills development.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
