 Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are the coordination of small muscle movements (usually the fingers) in conjunction with the eyes.  They include certain actions like writing, grasping small objects and fastening clothes.  Fine motor skills involve strength, dexterity and fine motor control.  There are several activities parents can do at home to help strengthen their child’s fine motor skills.  Please see the sheets sent home today for different ideas.

Our class picture has arrived!  Your child is bringing home a copy today.
