*4.3.1 Typical*

Students entering kindergarten are usually fairly coordinated and spatially aware. As they grow throughout primary school, these skills are fine-tuned, and they develop the capacity to write neatly (utilizing fine motor skills) and participate in athletic endeavors (which utilize gross motor skills). Hand-eye coordination develops exponentially during this time frame. Children grow from barely being able to catch objects that are thrown to them to hitting balls with a bat during organized baseball and softball games.
