A read-aloud we enjoyed Monday morning.
How To: Scissors (fine motor practice)
Cutting out the elephants they painted with watercolors!
I recommend a pair of child scissors at home to practice cutting when time allows.
Children are learning how to properly hold a pair of scissors,
walk safely in the classroom with the scissors, and know where to put them away.
We are all special and unique.

Every morning the children trace their name and write their name.
As part of their morning routine they ...
1. wash their hands with soap and water
2. go to the sign-in table to practice their name.
