Throughout the year, the students will be building strength in their hands. Students need the stamina to write for long periods of time, to cut different shapes, to color and draw, and to work with manipulatives.
Strategies to use at home:
Pick small items up with tweezers
Use spray bottles
String beads
Play with Play-Doh or clay
Cut thick paper with scissors
Rip paper
Color with colored pencils, crayons, markers
Squeeze squishy balls
