Chopstick Fine Motor

On Friday afternoon the 6D students used chopsticks and tiny bear counters during their first fine motor activity.  The class learned that fine motor is a block of time in their schedules when they will be strengthening the muscles in their hands. 

The goal of the activity was to use the chopsticks provided (either with one or both hands) to pick up the tiny bear counters and then place them in a green cup provided.  They were not allowed to use their fingers to pick up the bear counters.  I sped up the version of this video- watch how efficient this student is at using chopsticks! I was quite impressed!
