Wheeler County Kindergartners Learn About the Letter “0”
Courtesy of Wheeler County Elementary School
Mrs. Henderson and Ms. Carter’s kindergarten stu
dents at Wheeler County Elementary School are learning
about the letter “0.”.Through participation of the letter
“O” activities, the students are improving their fine mo
tor skills. The activities include using Play-Doh, stringing
beads on a pipe cleaner to make the letter “O,” peeling
stickers, and using tweezers to move pom-pom balls onto
the letter. These fine motor activities are helping students
develop the muscles in their hands and wrists, which are
essential for everyday tasks at school and home.
