Handwriting - Week 8 Differentiated Lesson

This document provides a differentiated lesson plan for handwriting practice for students still developing fine motor skills. The lesson focuses on drawing a fish with scales and bubbles to practice circles and curves. Students will color in the fish and use it to create an underwater picture. The goal is to develop hand strength and fine motor control through a fun drawing activity rather than repetitive letter practice, as some students are still struggling to form letters properly.
