Karen Sonnier is pleased to offer a professional development workshop to early childhood educators that will introduce and demonstrate activities that provide students with opportunities to promote the development of fine motor skills. This workshop for Preschool teachers will showcase activities and manipulatives that have been classroom tested by preschoolers. These hands on activities can be put together from free and inexpensive items. Tips on how to obtain materials, set up activities and modify activities to meet Texas PreKindergarten Guidelines for not only fine-motor but Science, Math and Art Guidelines will be presented. Time is scheduled in the workshop for participants to try the activities themselves and see if they will meet their student’s needs. You will walk away from this workshop with lots of ideas you can implement right away in your classrooms.
