My Project

My students are little explorers that enjoy hands on learning using their senses. A fundamental skill to pre-writing and writing is drawing and using your hands and eyes in good coordination. These materials including foam paint, visual tracking toys, and tactile sensory toys will help them build on their foundational skills before they learn to write. In order to learn to write, kids need to be able to use their hands and eyes efficiently. These materials will also help them be creative thinkers, builders, and artists. It will help to prepare them with skills and hands on learning through play.
