My Project

Students have been impacted by COVID-19 and a lack of in-person learning during the pandemic. Many students lack foundational skills. They need manipulatives to help them strengthen fine motor skills. Sensory Beads, Play Foam, Kinetic Sand, and Slime will help my students strengthen their fine motor muscles. The Upper Case and Lower Case Textured Touch & Trace Cards will also help my students with their fine motor skills. Small-sized Fine Tip Dry Erase Markers and Dough Scissors are easier for Pre-Kindergarteners to grip as they are strengthening their fine motor skills. The Wide Lined Writing Paper is great for younger students to use as they are learning to write letters, numbers, and their names. After a long day of learning, my students are ready for a snack (fruit snacks and snack mix) before they go home. We are always in need of paper towels and Lysol.
