Fine Motor Centers

We have had a great first two weeks in kindergarten! A big part of the early weeks at school is learning routines. One of our favorite routines is Morning Drawers. Every morning students put away their things then go to find their morning drawer. These 12 drawers are filled with fun, engaging activities that focus on building fine motor strength. The muscles in our fingers and hands are so important for writing but also for everyday tasks like getting dressed and opening lunch items. So getting to strengthen those muscles through play is a win for students and teachers. The class also works on academic skills like name recognition, patterns, number and letter recognition, and so much more all in the first 15 minutes of the day!
