I teach two classes for special students with a wide range of differing abilities and needs. It is a challenge for me to find lessons that help boost fine motor skills and yet meet each child's unique limitations. Often serendipity comes into play. As I was preparing for a kindy lesson, a few papers fell onto the table and viola! I was reminded of Matisse cutouts and instantly knew this would be a perfect fit for the day's lesson. We worked hand over hand and one on one to cut, glue and stick different shaped paper in a variety of colors onto black paper. The result was delightful!
