My Project

Hi- Thank you for considering donating to my collection of fun and therapeutic games and activities to use with my younger elementary students. I am a school based OT and love my job! I am constantly trying to make therapy sessions fun and engaging. My students love to play games and the best part is that they have no idea they are working on important foundational skills needed for success and independence in school and in life. I travel between 5 schools and having the luxury of having these extra supplies will allow me to rotate them through the schools to keep things "fresh" for my students.

The donation of these items will allow my students to improve their fine motor, visual motor, direction following skills, handwriting, social emotional and self regulation skills while having fun doing so.

Thank you!

Mrs. Sturgis Harold C Johnson Elementary School Grades PreK-2
