My Project

The focus of fine motor journals is just that: to strengthen, increase, and develop fine motor strength and dexterity in a fun, hands-on way.

It is critical for students to develop fine motor and pre-writing skills in order to be able to write letters, hold a writing tool, and become a successful writer and illustrator.

Help me provide my students with all the supplies they need to create their own fine motor writing journals. These journals will provide so many fine motor skill opportunities. From peeling & sticking stickers, making tape lines, tracing and writing letters, to using stamps and practicing cutting; these journals will make fine motor skills fun!

Students will develop other skills based on these fine motor activities, such as: letter recognition, concepts of print, vocabulary, counting, number recognition, shape recognition, and more.
