Playdough Fun in Ms. Kelley's class! Students have been squishing, rolling, and making imaginative creations while building fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity! Every squeeze helps those little hands get ready for writing and so much more. 🎨👐 #TheWashingtonWay #FineMotorSkills #LearningThroughPlay

Ms. Whitney's class used playdoh to create faces showing different emotions. This hands-on activity built fine motor skills while helping students recognize and express feelings. Learning about emotions through play is what Preschool is all about! 😀😢😠😯 #SEL #FineMotor #TheWashingtonWay
