These hands-on activities give students a fun way to ease into the school day while strengthening those important fine motor skills. From building and sorting to pinching, grasping, and creating, our students are learning through play and purposeful practice.
We love seeing their little hands busy, their minds engaged, and their smiles ready for a great day of learning!

Ms. Janish's class had a great time playing games to practice letter identification! It was also a great social activity because "fishing for letters" always prompts some fun fishing stories.
The MS Science students had to put together a puzzle without the picture included. They worked in pairs, without being able to talk to each other, to accomplish this. This activity shows how students think and how well they are willing to work with someone else to complete a task. Strategies used: sort by color, each build their own random section, building from the bottom up, and putting the border together first and then filling in the inside. Interestingly, the last strategy was the least one used.
Third graders in Miss Arpan’s room are practicing their typing skills.
