This episode was made to promote conversation around integrating fine motor into your classrooms and homes. I share some ideas and talk about how we can still create an inviting environment, during COVID, where fine motor skills are able to thrive and of course promote fun throughout our day.
During this episode I’m talking about some of my personal goals for the start of the upcoming school year.
