Andrea Sukut from the Learning Lab received $1,745.84 for her proposal, “Tick Tock, Time For A Task Box.”

She will purchase a variety of task boxes that can be used by about 80 Early Childhood students. In the application, she wrote, “Task boxes are meant for individual or small group instruction. Since task boxes work on fine motor skills (strength, hand-eye coordination, crossing midline), these materials will be hands-on. While students develop fine motor skills, they will also be working on counting, sorting, comparing, color identification, matching, tracing, letter identification, and shape manipulation. Task boxes allow students to learn by doing. Students within the Early Childhood Program come to school with many different skill sets. I will be using these boxes to meet the individual needs of students and to work on areas of delay.”
