Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your End-of-Year lessons.
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Provide students with physical challenges with the activity pre-cut to assist them with assembly.
✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors
This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities.
With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:
- Strengthen finger and hand muscles
- Build dexterity and fine motor skills
- Improve hand-eye coordination
- Develop focus and attention
And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.
Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
