Fine Motor

This will be a center that works on fine motor task such as:

-tracing
-lacing
-writing names
-writing letter/numbers
-cutting
-dot to dot
-clothes pin
-buttons/zippers
-puzzles
-sensory bins with tongs to take out mini toys

As my kids got more academic, I began to turn it into a writing center. They worked on grammar, punctuation and making paragraphs doing various strategies. We started teaching how to do drafts with draft sheets/graphic organizers and then transferring in nice and neat handwriting or typing (depends on students accommodations). Also, we would add higher thinking number skills such as missing number in charts and word problems. 

I am very big on writing!!! I hate that students are being shoved typing tools and forget how to even write their names, however I will accommodate word processors within activities just not all day longs... don't tell on me! ;)

Now the structure of fine motor....

You should have a box that has a work task strip letting each student know which task to work on. The order is from top to bottom. ​

Add finished bin/baskets to the visuals to be placed as student complete each task. ​

​Also, don't forget to add a finish basket or tray. I added a finish tray for each student, it made it easier to file and sort at the end of the day.
