My Project

I have 25 eager students that love to learn, create, and explore. As we enter the classroom in the morning, some children choose to eat breakfast and some do not. I am looking for a fun and educational way to engage students who are eager to start their day rather than working on a morning worksheet.

With the resources I have requested, my students will be able to build, create, or follow patterns, use ten frames to identify numbers to 20, and use lacing activities to build words as well as increase fine motor activity.

Some of the resources I have requested include magnetic blocks and cubes, lacing letters activities, and morning storage bins.

Having the morning storage bins filled with great resources will allow students to engage in hands-on meaningful practice for basic skills. Some of these activities will have STEM components while others will focus on increasing fine motor development, which many of my students need.
