Teacher Maryam's Corner

This activity develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by stretching rubber bands and placing them onto bottles.

👉Learning Skills Developed
✅ Fine Motor Skills – strengthens small hand and finger muscles used for writing and self-care tasks.
✅ Hand-Eye Coordination – helps children coordinate what they see with how their hands move.
✅Problem-SolvingSkills–encourages children to figure out how to stretch and place the rubber band.
✅ Focus and Concentration – develops attention while completing the task.
✅ Patience and Persistence – teaches children to keep trying until they succeed.
✅ Sensory Exploration – allows children to feel textures, tension, and movement.
✅ Bilateral Coordination – uses both hands together in a controlled way.

Before introducing formal writing to children aged 3–4, it’s developmentally appropriate to begin with scribbling activities. At this age the focus should be on fine motor and enjoyment rather than correct letter formation.

✍️Scribbling is an important early stage of writing development because it helps children.

*🖐️✍️ Strengthen hand and finger muscles
* 👀✍️Improve hand–eye coordination
* ✍️🖍️Practice holding crayons, markers, or pencils
* 〰️Learn control of lines, curves, and shapes
* 😄Express ideas and creativity
* 🏢Build confidence before forming letters

The toddler engaged in a fine motor activity where they transferred small objects from one container to another using barbecue sticks. This task supports the development of hand-eye coordination, concentration, and grip strength. It also encourages careful control of hand movements and focuses on completing a task.

Activities that involve picking up objects and using rubber bands are strengthening fine motor skills and the small muscles in the hands.
Learning Activities:
√ Rubber bands Activity
(Place the rubber band around fingers and stretch outward repeatedly)
¥ Learning Development
- Hand/ grip strength and finger extension/ expansion.
✓Picking up Objects Activity
(These help improve pincer grasp)
¥ Learning Development
- Improve the strength of the thumb and index finger +coordination.

It's Math time!
Part 1
When my students are full of energy and ready to play, I turn that excitement into something meaningful ✨

Instead of stopping the fun, I transform our lesson into math games so they can learn while enjoying every moment. They can solve the problems in teams, encouraging both critical thinking and social skills. Their energy becomes part of the learning process, making problem-solving more engaging and natural.

Through this activity, they not only practice their math skills but also build teamwork, cooperation, and confidence 💡📚

Learning + play = the best combination ❤️
