They especially enjoy cutting playdough with the special scissors ✂️. By working with these materials, these children will be more prepared to use their own hands to write, draw, cut and manipulate small objects. Working with these new materials makes practicing more fun. And, as we know, having fun makes the learning experience much more appealing. Without your generosity, these students would still be using the same tools which had become less exciting. Thank you for strengthening their skills.","fullyFundedDate":1755911491527,"projectUrl":"project/build-our-fine-motor-skills/9593110/","projectTitle":"Build Our Fine Motor Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marcella","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7152381_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1637952558496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7152381"},{"teacherId":3333097,"projectId":8603996,"letterContent":"We are using your supplies each and everyday!
